Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups Cheerios™ cereal
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup no trans-fat 68% vegetable oil spread stick, melted
- 3/4 cup fat-free (skim) milk

- 1/2 cup coconut
- 2 cups frozen (thawed) fat-free whipped topping

Directions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Place cereal in food-storage plastic bag; crush finely with rolling pin or meat mallet to make 1 cup (or crush in food processor).
