Funnily enough I was going to post the same question today :rotfl: Only I've got a box of mini - shredded wheat and although DD loves them to some extent they don't like to say bye to her IYKWIM :rolleyes: Will be keeping a close eye on this thread

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!

Is this baklava? Don't have a recipie for it myself but am sure one would come up if you googled. You're right it is lovely!

Would it work in the weetabix cake?

Whoops, I thanked Squeaky rather than quoted:o

I think the Shredded Wheat would work in the Weetabix cake. I used to make a similar recipe years ago with All Bran Cereal so I'm sure it would work. Perhaps use a cup of full of Shredded Wheat as that is what my All Bran recipe used.

You can use SW to make chocolate crispy cakes, like the rice crispy cakes. DS school does them at Easter to look like nests and they add mini eggs for decoration. Their were rock hard though so i would add a little syrup/butter to the choclate so its doesn't go so solid.

I use Shredded Wheat at easter, mixed with chocolate to make nests, I then add a couple of sugar coated eggs & a fluffy chick

a friend made that for me once, & it was delicious. I don't have her recipe, but there's one here HERE (scroll down the page for the one using Shredded Wheat) can't vouch for it as I haven't tried it out, but I imagine it'll be similar

I know! it uses a full pound of walnuts too :eek: ... I think the recipe would possibly be better halved or quartered, unless you were catering for a crowd

cor thanks for the greek thingy recipe,used about 10 of the shredded wheat earlier so still have 38 left,going to try this one tomorrow by the way don't think I will need to halve the recipe as we love sweet things:o

my mum makes "birds nests" with them... same as chocolate rice krispie buns except with shredded wheat...then puts 3 mini eggs in the middle. it's more an easter thing but i love them!! (i'm 27 and still ask her to make them!!)
