To assemble house, place cereal mixture from 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan on foil-lined tray for base. 6. Cut the remaining pan of cereal mixture into eight 5 x 3-inch rectangles for sides and roof of house. With four 5 x 3-inch rectangles, laying vertical, cut at an angle for roof of house. Place the eight pieces 1-inch apart on baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 250° F for 25 minutes.
