Shredded Wheat

Chris25

Instead of making a gingerbread house - make an old fashioned thatched cottage. Use the shredded wheat for the thatch!
Saw one of these in an American magazine and it was a work of art. Shame to eat it though ;D

I feel creative quite a lot of the time - it's just the getting around to doing it that holds me back ;D ;D

ds1 wanted this for some reason but will not eat it, i now have a almost full large sized pack that needs using up

any ideas before i end up putting it in the dustbin, i know eating for breakfast is obvious but im not quite this healthy, ive thought of choc nests as well so looking for any other fab tasteing ideas you may have

thank you

use it in a malt loaf

You could use it in my malt loaf recipe instead of weetabix:

Malt Loaf Recipe

Preheat oven to gas mark 4. Put 3 weetabix, 4oz sugar and 40z of raisins or sultanas in a mixing bowl and add 1 mug of hot black tea. Leave to soak until the mixture has gone cold. Stir and add in 2 eggs. Stir again and add in 4oz self raising flour and 2oz porridge oats (optional but if not using oats substitute for 2 more ounces of flour). Mix thoroughly and add to a loaf tin and bake in the oven.

A friend of mine uses Weetabix instead of breadcrumbs in Treacle Tart - so perhaps Shredded Wheat would work just as well?
