Since I was a child, I had a thing for blueberry anything and Boo Berry Cereal from my childhood has always been a favorite. I buy a box or two once a year when it’s out around Halloween as a bit of a birthday guilty pleasure. I happened to spot boxes of this childhood favorite at my local grocery store and, like a lightbulb moment, I thought “CEREAL TREATS”. A couple boxes went into the grocery cart for “research purposes” and it was time to whip up some Blueberry Studded Boo Berry Cereal Treats.
I haven’t had cereal treats in forever but, much like riding a bike, the recipe isn’t hard at all. I added dried blueberries for more blueberry flavor and, to add even more fun to the mix, I drizzled these cereal bars with a vanilla glaze and then sprinkled the bars with colorful sparkling sugars. These cereal treats were fun, festive and a nostalgic hit with my friends and family.
If you have a box or two of this Boo Berry Cereal in the pantry, make these Blueberry Studded Boo Berry Treats and watch them disappear!

Ingredients
- For the Cereal Treats:
- 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 16-ounce bag of mini marshmallows
- 6 cups of Boo Berry Cereal (about 1 box)
- 1 cup of dried blueberries
- For the glaze:
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 - 2 tablespoons of water
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Sanding sugars (I used purple & white)
Instructions
- Spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
- In a heavy bottomed saucepan, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir with a non-stick spatula until everything is combined and melted. Remove from the heat.
- Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal and dried blueberries, folding to combine.
- Pour into the prepared pan and flatten using a spatula. The mixture will be sticky - you might want to also spray your hands with a bit of the nonstick spray.
- To make the glaze:
- In a small bowl, add the powdered sugar, one tablespoon of the glaze and the vanilla extract.
- Whisk to combine. Add more water as needed to get to the perfect drizzling consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the bars and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
- Let set for about an hour or two.
- Cut into bars and serve.
- Enjoy!
