The other day I was browsing the recipes on TeamSugar and this one by
VirginSin caught my eye: Was it a breakfast item, a snack, or a dessert? I think the answer is all of the above! These bite-sized treats — a combination of cornflakes, honey, and peanuts — are served in paper cups making them a tasty, portion-controlled indulgence.

Small, round, French pastries that are served cold. Also know as cream puffs, profiteroles are usually filled with whipped or pastry cream and often are topped with caramel, powdered sugar, or
