From Jake's Kids Kitchen
We came across a Wheaties cereal box from 1999 with the Breakfast of Champions Bars recipe on the side and figured, why not share with our Jake's Kids followers? This iconic cereal box features Mia Hamm, who was the biggest superstar of the U.S. Women's World Cup champion team in 1999. These delicious bars are not only for breakfast! Snack on them any time of the day when you crave a little boost of sugary sweetness. With just the right amount of crunch, these bars will melt in your mouth. They also taste amazing when refrigerated.
