Here is a site with some instructions for one.

It requires more than just a cereal box though.

All right,
well does it have to be with a cereal box?
If so then I will help you the best I can. What I used was a big plastic bucket cut in half long ways.
So, first with a cereal box, cut out one of the big sides. So, a cereal box is rectangular, cut out one of the big rectangles, so that way it still has all four sides and a bottom.
Now, you can line your box with many things for it to get hot.
I used silver bubble wrap.
or painting it black and putting pennies around the bottom would make it get hot as well.
Then you want the heat to stay inside your box, so cover your cooker with saran wrap to keep it inside. Make sure that it is secure.
I hope that this helps.
My cooker was a bucket cut in half long ways, with silver bubble wrap on the sides and it had a copper tube through the center of the bucket. The circular shape of the bucket made all of the light and heat concentrate on the center copper tube. This made it very hot in the center. So whatever I was cooking would go into the center tube. Then I covered the cooker with saran wrap to keep the heat inside. It was a very good project.
My friend did one with a bucket spray painted black and pennies glued all over the bottom of the bucket. It got very hot, and it was the hottest out of all of the science classes. So I would suggest this one.
Good luck!!!
