I'd eat them (if I liked Frosties, which I don't). I take no notice of Use By / Best Before dates - they're all ultra conservative. If it smells OK, isn't moving under it's own steam and isn't a funny colour, it's OK in my book.
As for cooking with them, I bet you can make those rice crispy or cornflake cakes, they'll just be even sweeter.0 -
- melt chocolate in a bowl,
- chuck in frosties,
- put spoonfull into each baking case,
- put in fridge to set
- carefully package into box
- and send to me for tasting:D

I've always had an urge to one day trying to destroy cereals Alan Partridge-style :rotfl:. Not moneysaving in the slightest, but it sure looks like fun! I'm not a big fan of cereal, can you tell?!
I would say it'll be fine to eat, unless it's stale. If you can't stand that much sugar of a morning, make frosties cornflake cakes like Annie says!0 -

Go for chocolate rice krispie cakes. Get some Cadbury chocolate eggs and hey presto some easter nests. When is easter by the way??!!I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it'll be with a knife

You could try crunching some up and mixing with oats to make a crunchie topping for stewed fruit, if you baked it like a crumble it should be quite nice.0

I would eat them or at least try them. They should be fine as long as they are still sealed. Ive eaten month old ones before
Or make cornflake tart
or crispy cakefurrypig says:my name is Choccy and I am addicted to nose free stamps as I want to save them all and give them noses!!!:rotfl:
About me. Im Choccy or Chocolate orange depending on where i am.Yes occasionally i am a total looon who spends too long online,but no where near as much £ as her spendy elves do ..:D0 -
I would seriously, seriously start to eat them normally - I would put money on it that they will still be ok for at least 1-2 months. I ignore BB dates on everything, they are generally a load of rubbish and created to get people to buy more.
But if you want to use them up more quickly then I'd make some kind of cereal cakes as suggested above.Everything will be ok in the end, if everything's not ok then it's not the end
