Root Beer Float with Cereal Toppings
This drink/dessert was just inspired when i i realized i had root beer and vanilla ice cream in the refrigerator. Realized that i wanted to add crunch to the float, my moms musli cereal was laying on the kitchen top and decided to just use it. Simple but it just adds flavor and crunch to the recipe. Love crunch!
