| Kix (Cereal) || Shehakol || Boreh Nefashot<ref>[https://www.star-k.org/resource/list/UK0XE63K/Cereals_and_their_Brachos 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). </ref>

| Kneidlech or Kneidelach || Mezonot || Al Hamichya<ref>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. </ref>

| Knish (thin crust) || [[Mezonot]]  || Al Hamichya<ref>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: [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/sarahs-knish/ allrecipes.com], [http://knish.me/recipe-ida-gardners-knishes/ knish.me], and [http://www.cooks.com/recipe/o74v768v/potato-knishes.html 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.</ref>
