Upcycled Cereal Box Crafts

I remember when I was about 10 and didn’t have hanging file folders. I wanted to organize my papers so I used manila folders, tapped on straws and allowed them to hang on my homemade file cabinet. My dad thought I was genius. Though, initially, I wasn’t doing this to see how smart I was, I was being resourceful with my supplies, it created a spark in me to upcycle what I had.

If you love to create, craft, or perhaps see what genius things you can make from recycled materials, this post is for you! Take a look at these Upcycled Cereal Box Crafts and let us know your favorite! What have you tried?

Not only will you love it, you will really love how easy it is to make and prepare and you might even trick your friends into thinking you got it at the most expensive pastry shop in town! Enjoy!

Dark Chocolate Flourless Torte

Yields: 8-12 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 30 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

9 ounces dark chocolate (good quality & at least 65%), finely chopped
9 ounces unsalted butter (18 tablespoons)
1 ½ cups sugar
7 eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional additions: ¼ teaspoon almond extract or 2-3 tablespoons of your favorite rum (or other desired adult beverage)
Garnish options: fresh berries, whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Grease a 9” spring form pan, add parchment paper, and then add a second layer of grease.
Place both chocolate and butter in a microwave safe bowl, and microwave until melted. Stir until ingredients are smooth and combined. Stir in sugar, and allow the mixture to cool for 3-4 minutes.
Add eggs (one at a time), incorporating fully between each addition. Continue to stir after all eggs have been added until batter takes on a slightly thicker consistency.
Stir in the vanilla extract (+ any additional extracts or adult beverage.)
Pour the chocolate batter into prepared pan. Bake for 30 and begin to check for doneness (may take up to 35 minutes). The torte should have a very slight jiggle as the middle will not be quite completely set. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before removing from spring form pan.
Serve with desired garnishes.

Notes:

This cake can be made up to 1 day in advance and can be served chilled or at room temperature

To freeze: allow the cake to completely cool, cover the top with plastic wrap and place in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw overnight the refrigerator before serving.

He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.
