Original commissary-inspired pantry recipe

Dry cereal makes a different breakfast when lightly bound with peanut butter. This is a spoonable crunchy cup, so it needs only enough dressing to connect the pieces.

Place & evidence: Across the country. This is an original pantry recipe. The source supplies ingredient or technique context, rather than evidence that this exact dish is served in a prison. Inventory and place labels describe that context only. FCI Danbury Commissary List.

Make it

Equipment: Clean food-safe bowl or cup; spoon; measuring cup and spoons; a clean suitable utensil for any chopping.

Ingredients

2 cups plain crisp cereal
2 tbsp peanut butter
2 tsp honey
1 tbsp warm water
2 tbsp raisins

Method

Whisk peanut butter and honey together, then work in the measured tablespoon of warm water until the dressing is smooth.
Put cereal in a roomy bowl. Drizzle dressing over it in small passes, lifting and folding gently between additions.
Fold in raisins and divide between two cups, scraping any dressing from the bowl onto the portions.
Serve immediately. The cereal is meant to retain crisp pieces, not stand overnight in the dressing.

The useful detail

Prepare the dressing first and add it only when ready to eat. If cereal is fragile, turn it with a spoon rather than stirring in circles.

When the store is different

Use chopped dried cranberries or omit dried fruit.

Serving & handling

Keep dry ingredients dry until assembly. Handle the moist finished mixture as perishable, even when the unopened packages were shelf-stable. Read the pantry and food-handling guide for storage limits, package directions and allergen checks.
