    crush it a bit and mix with melted chocolate and sultanas for homemade 'cereal bars'
    use when you make stuffing
    sprinkle it on the top of crumble for a bit of extra crunch
    send it to me because i love it!!! ;D

    Cheers for the ideas :D

    bit reluctant to put out for birds cos of the cat.

    Like sound of doing cereal bars tho - little boy loves em but i rarely buy cos i think they're dear.

    I take it i just melt chocolate and mix with shredded wheat and fruit - mark and let set in fridge.

    if i need to do anything else will someone please shout. thanks :)

    You can make bread, muffins or even pancakes!! check out a site called https://www.cooks.com and type in shredded wheat on the search bar!

    I haven't tried these but I too have a lot of shredded wheat and nobody eating it!! ::) Shame it isn't Easter then we could have those cute choccy & shredded wheat nests with mini eggs in them ! :D

    Darn. I was going to suggest those. Perhaps you could leave out the eggs and claim that they are straw for the manger?? :)

    Now I think you are on to something 160, How about choccy shredded wheat treasure chests full of choccy coins? or am I being really daft (or desperate) now?

    Use it as a crumble topping together with flour, sugar and butter/marg.
