Strawberry Nut Crunch with Special K Crust
Another package came last week via UPS. It was from Foodbuzz and Kellogs. Inside I found 2 boxes of Special K Red Berries. Now, what recipe can I make using Special K Red Berries? Most people already know that cereal can be made into some really great tasting muffins but I wanted to do something different. So... I made a crust using Special K Red Berries for my Strawberry Nut Crunch. Here is the recipe:
2 1/2 cups Special K Red Berries
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 can sweetened condensed milk
6 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 cup finely chopped nuts (save about 1 Tbsp. for garnish)
1 pkg frozen strawberry slices, thawed (save 8-10 for garnish)
1 carton (8 oz.) whipped topping
Put the Special K Red Berries into a gallon plastic bag. Close bag. Roll a rolling pin over the cereal to crush. Pour into a bowl and add melted butter. Mix and press into pie pan. In a large bowl mix milk and lemon juice. Fold in whipped topping. Add strawberries and nuts. Pour into crust. Garnish with strawberries and nuts. Refrigerate.
The pie itself is delicious and I normally make it with crushed vanilla wafers but using the Special K Red Berries turned out to be a great change. Not too sweet and just a little crunch.

I'm from Georgia, moved to North Carolina by way of Florida. I've been in Charlotte for 14 years and love it. The recipes in my book Stir, Laugh, Repeat are all tested by "Food Testers" of which I now have 24. They try a dish and rate it from 1-10 with only those scoring at least an 8 making the book. My website is a holding place for my 2nd book Stir, Laugh, Repeat... Again. Please visit my site to find new recipes and tips. All recipes are easy, using common ingredients and according to my testers, great!
When I wrote my introduction about a year ago and a lot has happened since then. I now have 5 blog sites that keep me pretty busy. Two of my sites are dedicated to nothing but recipes. Martha's Recipe Cabinet holds recipes that will be included in one of my upcoming cookbooks. Martha's Kitchen Korner consists of recipes that are good but still need just a bit of work. On A Book and A Dish you will find my book reviews and the author's favorite recipe. Stir, Laugh, Repeat holds reviews written about my cookbook Stir, Laugh, Repeat and the site you are now on is the "mother" site for all of these. Here you will find cooking tips, simple recipes and updates for additions to the "offspring sites." So, enjoy!
