Disclosed are ready-to-eat cereals having an exterior coating sweetened with aspartame as well as methods of preparing such coated cereals. The methods of preparation comprise: a) preparing an aqueous suspension comprising sufficient amounts of xantham gum to provide a viscosity of 50 to 25,000 cp. (65.degree.F.) and from about 0.1% to 4% aspartame; b) enrobing a cereal with the aqueous suspension at a temperature of from about 50.degree.F. to 100.degree.F. to apply sufficient amounts of aspartame so as to provide between about 0.05% to 0.3% aspartame, and then c) drying the cereal to a final moisture content of less than about 5%. |
