Fill small bowl with cereal. Poor milk in same until just below level of cereal. Eat with spoon.

Yeah, I use unsalted butter. As for baking time (other poster) I just followed the directions. My first attempt was a total failure and I think because I kept cooking it until the toothpick came out clean. This resulted in VERY dry brownies that were only salvageable by the mint icing I put...
