This tasty treat resembles what you might find dropped on a park bench or window sill by a local pigeon. Don't let the name scare you off, it's a highly addicting snack mix.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

I use Cocoa Puffs with rice krispies, pretzel sticks, mini marshmallows, white chocolate chips. That bit of brown changes the look!!! Still a very tasty treat! My adult friends LOVED it!!!!

I made this out of curiosity. The name not withstanding, I think this would make a perfectly good party snack for kids' and adult occasions alike (maybe don't tell your adult friends the name ;). It was sweet without being overwhelmingly so. Since the recipe only called for "your favorite crunchy cereal," I used Cookie Crunch and tried to grind them up a bit so that the bird "poop" wouldn't have perfectly round little chocolate chip cookies in it! It was a great choice.

Made this for my daughter's birthday party. She is obsessed with birds right now so we had everything bird related. These are very cute. We used a stuffed animal bird as the centerpiece for the platter and put the "poop" around it.

My kids love this!! I used a little bit more white chocolate to spread over the top. Plus used a little bit of dark chocolate, for a laugh!!
Very disappointed - not even close to looking like bird poop! Added a second bag of chocolate, still did no good. When done, looks like cereal, marshmallows, and pretzel sticks held together with chocolate. If you want something that looks like bird poop - this IS NOT the recipe...
