This #CerealWars sponsored post has been brought to you by General Mills. As always my thoughts, opinions, and my cereal jack-pot Star Wars pen loving enthusiasm are my own. Thank you!
I love cereal…let me rephrase that real quick, I simply L-O-V-E boxed cereal. And it seems that Big G Cereals brand have made my heart swoon even more with an all new {Cereal Wars} Star Wars Cereal Pens 2013 extravaganza. Ever a kid at heart, I get as excited as my children walking down the breakfast aisle. And the Big G cereals made sure to bring it, complete with “edible episodes” of our favorite Star Wars episodes!
For us, cereal is its own mealtime. And its also not just milk in a bowl either. We love incorporating it into snack time too. For instance I couldn’t help but hold a few pens to think of how great they’d make some fun party cupcakes!
We purchased the Cinnamon Toast Crunch for our collectible Star Wars cereal pen and then also grabbed its partner in crime…the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cupcake mix from Betty Crocker. Half were made as the box directed. The remaining were piped internally and atop with cream cheese frosting and adorned with our cereal pens and crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I have to tell you….let them say a “Jedi craves not these things” and they’ll be lying.
So with this in mind, I also loved seeing how the Big G cereals have created the short funny video parody’s of our favorite Star Wars scenes! Let the force be with you as you hop over to the Big G tumbler Cereal Wars site to request your favorite scene be re-enacted. The limited edition collectible star wars cereal pens for 2013 include:
- Darth Vader
- Yoda
- Chewbacca
- Storm Trooper
- Mace Windu
- Obi Wan Kenobi
- Anakin Skywalker
- Boba Fett
And if your feeling creative {or a super duper Star Wars fan}, use Vine or Instagram to create your own edible episode and submit it to be featured on the Cereal Wars tumbler site! Just Look for the specially marked packaging on these participating cereals at your local grocer {Honey Nut Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Reese’s Puffs, Golden Grahams, Cocoa Puffs, Trix and Lucky Charms} for your own Star Wars cereal pen. Once you brave the cereal aisle {and come out looking like a kid at Christmas}, craft up your own edible episode and submit it on the “REQUEST” link on the Big G Cereal Wars tumber page.
And while MY personal favorite Star Wars scene was Yoda raising the the X-Wing {“Do or do not…there is no try”} I just couldn’t get my brain off of cereal crusted cupcakes. So I did a quick video of that…hey, its at least edible right?
