The Best CoCo Wheats Instructions Ever
July 21, 2007 @ 06:52PM
I'm not sure when I first tried CoCo Wheats or even what attracted me to them (well, maybe the catchy jingle), but I'd have to say that they are probably the best type of warm breakfast you could ask for.
Since I moved out from home, I hadn't really even given them much thought until, on a recent trip home, my mother handed me a quart bag full of what appeared to be dirty yeast. Oh yes, little rocks of breakfast bliss that I had neglected to take with me. What's great about CoCo Wheats is that a box can last you well over a year (however, I'm assuming that, when not consumed, they could outlast civilization as we know it). So, I've got my breakfast plans decided on until next summer.
Being Saturday morning and all, I decided that it would be a great time to dedicate to my old chocolaty friend. Unfortunately, I didn't have the original box - meaning I didn't have any instructions for making them. I spent a good thirty minutes Googling for some hint, but I guess only important information can be found on the web. However, I did find some dedicated CoCo Wheats fans that even had a comment posted by the president of Little Crow Foods. Anyhow, I had a good idea of how I used to make them so I threw caution to the wind and started breakfast knowing full well that it could be a cocoa catastrophe.
As it turns out, my memory isn't as bad as I thought it was and my recipe worked out terrifically. Now, if I recall correctly, the original instructions indicate that you can use water(?) or milk in the mixture. We all know that using water produces nothing but runny cereal, so most people settle for the milk. However, the first time I tried this I was terribly disappointed - there simply wasn't enough cocoa taste (nor did a cuckoo bird come out of a grandfather clock and talk to me). That's when it hit me - it was time to call in the big guns: Cass Clay's Swiss-style Chocolate Milk. And, without any further ado, my CoCo Wheats instructions:
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons CoCo Wheats
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- one cup thick chocolate milk
Instructions:
- Mix above ingredients into bowl and stir until mostly blended (it never completely mixes)
- Put into microwave on highest setting for 3 minutes total
- Stir after the first minute
- Stir after the second minute
- Stir every 30 seconds after until mixture reaches critical mass
- Let cool for a minute or two (let it congeal)
- ENJOY!
So there you have it. Very simple instructions, but a very tasty breakfast. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go put on my favorite t-shirt.
