Here is a no-fuss recipe that tastes fancy, pleases a crowd, and is easy to toss in a bag, give as a gift, or take to a picnic -- no utensils or refrigeration required! I came up with it after a visit to my grandmother's house many years ago, when I headed back to my dorm with boxes and boxes of corn flakes cereal she'd given me. (Grandma could never pass up a 2 for 1 sale, so she ended up stockpiling shelf-stable groceries.) While I was grateful for the free food, the thought of eating corn flakes week after week haunted me. So before I knew it, I paired the crisp cereal with browned butter and thinly sliced almonds to create this chewy, amaretto-y dessert bar -- now a family favorite.
