    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven 350 degrees F.
  2. Beat butter and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Add vanilla and add eggs, one at a time, beating until blended after each addition.
  4. In a blender or food processor place cereal and blend into a fine powder and set aside.

  6. Gradually add dry mixture to butter mixture, beating until blended.
