Expert Tips

Eating at least 3 servings of whole grains like Cheerios® cereal daily may help reduce blood cholesterol. Look for the word "whole" to be sure you get the whole grain.

To create a different look and taste, use dark chocolate or white chocolate chips instead of semisweet or milk chocolate chips.
