Magical Milkshakes
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Post Consumer Brands. All opinions are entirely my own.
I still remember getting my first Nintendo gaming system as a kid. There was literally nothing as exciting as unwrapping it under the tree. For the weeks and months that followed, I played Super Mario Bros. like it was going out of style. I can still hear the theme song in my head. When the Nintendo Switch came out, you better believe we were beyond itching to get one!
Fast forward to today and I had no idea that Nintendo and Super Mario games would literally become a tradition of sorts for my family. Before I could blink, my husband ordered one. I swear that I didn't see my husband for a good week while he "tested" it out. Hey, I don't mind. He is pretty brilliant when it comes to figuring out video games so that when I can squeeze the time in, he can very lovingly (I mean patiently, really) teach me how to play. You work the tech and I'll make the tasty snacks for family time. It totally works.
If you've been just as excited about the new Nintendo Switch, which has a left and right Joy-Con built right into the console, Post cereal has an exciting sweepstakes that you'll love! I'm excited to share how you can try your hand at winning a Nintendo Switch Console and New Super Mario Odyssey Video Game Prize Pack.
Make Magical Milkshakes
This yummy Magical Milkshake recipe made with Malt-O-Meal® Marshmallow Mateys cereal just might summon a little bit of extra luck. This fancy milkshake is so easy to whip up! I made it fancy by adding a little pink frosting to the rims of my glasses and using some of the cereal to line it.
I made a basic milkshake and took it over the top by adding Malt-O-Meal Marshmallow Mateys and a couple of drops or purple food coloring. Then, to top the milkshakes, I used whipped cream, colorful sprinkles, more cereal and some cotton candy. So much fun! And the great thing is that with over 35 flavors, Malt-O-Meal has something for every taste bud in the family.

As a family, we've literally spent days working together to conquer entire Mario games, level by level. When we first started thinking about getting the Nintendo Switch, my husband was most excited about the upcoming Super Mario Odyssey game that will be available October 27th. We're definitely counting down the days until we can play. If you haven't heard about it, you'll be counting down the days with me. This interactive game offers up next-level worldly adventures. Don't worry, we'll still be trying to save Princess Peach. I wouldn't have it any other way. But our rescue efforts will be taking place in amazing almost jaw-dropping new places like New Donk City where skyscrapers rule. This sandbox-style 3D Mario adventure is packed with secrets and surprises, and with Mario’s new moves like cap throw, cap jump, and capture, you’ll have fun and exciting gameplay experiences unlike anything you’ve enjoyed in a Mario game before. I absolutely can't wait to save the Princess from Bowser’s clutches and foil his dastardly wedding plans. Are you with me?
Good luck!!! This is seriously exciting!!
