    Hi everyone,

    I've got 2 boxes of mini shredded wheat and no one in the house seems to like it! I was just wondering if any one had any idea's of what I could do with it?:confused:
    I think if I could turn it into a cake/brownie like the weetabix one it'd get eaten!:D

    TIA

    I would break them up and turn them into little nest cakes for easter.

    I'd second the idea of Easter nest cakes - I made them with DD's playgroup 14 years ago & we've all loved them ever since :D Shred the little shredded wheat & mix with melted chocolate. Mush into a nest shapes in paper cake cases & put 2 or 3 mini eggs in the nest to complete the effect once they've cooled down :drool: Ooh I'm starving now & no dinner for at least an hour :rotfl:Other than that I'd shred them up & put into something like a crumble topping or a homemade museli :confused: Hope this helps xx

    Just found a huge box of shredded wheat (unopened) lurking in the back of the cupboard...not sure why I have it as neither my daughter or I eat it. Anyone have any ideas to use it up?

    Would it work in place of weetabix for the weetabix cake/brownies recipes?

    Thanks in advance.

    I wonder about a little bit in a crumble recipe, or something with a crunchy topping. As it's savoury, mixed with cheese for fish pie topping.
    Might be horrible. Just a thought.

    Hi Mythi,

    There are lots of ideas on this earlier thread:

    Shredded Wheat

    I'll add your post to that one later to keep the suggestions together.
