Haha, my kind of guy. I love doing silly things in beers, cheerios, pecans.... Now bacon, that I'd love to try. Baconbrau

I don't know if you'll really get anything out of the mini-wheats except a great story.

Probably a moldy mess with no fermentation. Cereals tend to have preservatives in them.

 

[RichBrewer]

Are you talking AG or extract? I think this might work depending on what's in the cereal. Any preservatives would make it a no go.

Way to think out side of the (cereal) Box.

If you were doing all-grain or partial mash I think it could work, but all extract would just add some sugar, but also a starchy mess. None of the actual wheat will get converted. Just the frosting and the little bit of sugar in the cereal.

Granted both cereal and beer are excellent for breakfast, but I still enjoy them seperately.

You would get a very, very small increase in the ABV, as the sugar in the frosting would ferment out. The shredded part might add a slight toasty flavor, if you steep it.
