    You could crush it all up and use it as a crispy coating on fish or chicken.

    Crush a few and use to replace some of the oats in homemade flapjacks.

    A few weeks ago I was given some turkish/arabic/greek cake type things that included a sort of shredded wheat, nut and honey thing that was very tasty. I did have a greek and turkish cookbook but I can't find it aaah!

    Mix it with nuts/raisins/whatever you've got and stir in some melted chocolate?
