From 1957 to 2022, kids were fortunate to enjoy the most interactive breakfast cereal ever created. Just imagine a cereal that allowed you to spell names and words! I miss this cereal so much that I'm eager to try making it from scratch at home. Do you happen to know the process for recreating it?
I've learned that Alpha-Bits cereal is made using a process called extrusion. A mixture of ingredients, including whole grain oat and corn flour, sugar, salt, malt syrup, and vitamins and minerals, is heated and forced through a die that shapes the cereal into letters. The letters are then dried and frosted with a sugar glaze.
If you have any insights on how I could recreate this nostalgic cereal at home, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
