  14. ↑ Star K Brachot List writes that Kixs is Shehakol. Halachos of Brachos Handbook p. 53 agrees. Even though Laws of Brachos (Rabbi Forst, pg 359-384) wrote that it was mezonot, today the ingredients only have corn meal and don't have any of the five grains (https://www.generalmills.com/en/Brands/Cereals/kix/brand-product-list).
  15. ↑ Mishna Brurah 168:59, Vezot Habracha ch. 3 p. 25, Laws of Brachos (Rabbi Forst, pg 359-384). The Mishna Brurah is following the Magen Giborim Shiltei Giborim 168:15 who holds that the crushed matzah when cooked becomes mezonot even though they are combined together into balls bigger than a kezayit. This is in disagreement with the Magen Avraham 168:28 who holds that if they are combined into a ball bigger than a kezayit it is hamotzei.
  16. ↑ Laws of Brachos (Rabbi Forst, pg 359-384) writes that a potato knish is mezonot. If it has a thin crust and one didn't eat a kezayit of mezonot one should make boreh nefashot afterwards. If they have a thick crust an al hamichya is recited afterwards. If one made a meal out of it, one should wash and say Birkat HaMazon afterwards. His reasoning is that a knish is that most knishes are baked as in the following recipes: allrecipes.com, knish.me, and cooks.com. If it is baked and the dough has oil then it is considered Pat Haba Bekisnin, which is mezonot and if one made it into a meal Birkat Hamazon (Shulchan Aruch 168:6-7). Halachos of Brachos Handbook p. 54 agrees.

    • Challah Kugel is a type of bread pudding using pieces of challah as the base of the recipe. Vezot HaBracha (chap 3, pg 25) writes that if the challah kugel is made with pieces smaller than a Kezayit which were kneaded together and mixed so that they aren't recognizable as bread and then it was baked in the oven, then a)if it was only kneaded with water, it's hamotzei, b)if it was kneaded with a little oil, honey, and sugar it's a doubt whether it's Hamotzei, c) if it was kneaded with a majority of oil, sugar, and juice in comparison to the water, then the bracha is Mezonot. He adds that according to Sephardim if the taste of the oil, juice, and sugar are recognizable even if it's less than majority it's mezonot.
    • Laws of Brachos (Rabbi Forst, pg 359-384) writes that in general Challah Kugel is mezonot because the challah pieces are mixed with eggs, give it a taste other than bread, and are unrecognizable. However, he notes, if the pieces of bread are recognizable then the Bracha is Hamotzei.
    • Halachos of Brachos (chap 26, pg 474) quotes Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach ruling that challah kugel is mezonot and says that such is the minhag. He explains that since it’s mixed with a majority of eggs and oil it is considered mezonot (see Mishna Brurah 168:59).
