I've Got Some Trix up My Sleeve

Last night's 30 Rock (with Liz Lemon's quote above) got me thinking about the oft-neglected cereal Trix. I don't think I've ever even tried it. And the Trix rabbit seems like he's just one step up from Sugar Bear or the Smacks Frog in terms of obsolescence. [Sidenote: what is this epidemic of animals stealing cereal from children?] Certainly Trix doesn't have the widespread empire of say, Rice Krispies. Even the General Mills website only has one recipe -- and it's Trix layered with yogurt and blueberries.

I had to check three different recipe sites before I found one that looked even moderately appealing. Apparently you can either roll ice cream balls in Trix or make a Rice Krispie treat variation. I'm including a version of the latter, mostly because it calls for lemonade, not fruit gelatin.

But there is certainly a void in the recipe world that needs to be filled here. If Cap'n Crunch can be used for chicken fingers, surely there's a role Trix can play outside of the bowl.
