    why dont you just pour it into the top of the next box.

    thats what mum used to do :)


    Although I used to quite like the sugary remnants at the bottom of the frosties bag - not with milk though - it just looks like sludge then

    I would have it dry, with a big glass of pure orange, yumm! mum thought I was weird :D

    Ok patchwork cat asked what i've got left
    theres about 1/4 pkt coco pops and about the same of choco balls
    then nearly whole pack of a cereal i got at lidl, that none of us like- they are like little choc pockets with a creamy choc stuff in the middle. The kids always want these chocolatey things as a treat then go of them, and go back to eating the weetabix and shreddies. I've tried suggesting we mix some of the choccy cereals in with the shreddies, but they turned there noses up at that exotic suggestion!!!
    I've also got oats, weetabix, and shreddies, not needing to use these up, but some could be added into a recipe if needed

    that's what we do, but after several times you get to the bottom of the packet and it just 'dust' what can you do with that?

    Has anyone tried making their own version of special k bars?
    I have half a box of red berry special k left, and I'm not feeling particularly inspired to eat it as it is.

    Thanks for any recipes.

    Hi Donna,

    There's an older thread with more ideas for using up cereal so I've added your thread to it to keep all the suggestions together.
