Using up breakfast cereal

valk_scot

Eat the cereal bit by all means but once you get down to that nasty powdery stuff at the bottom of the bag it's best to regard it as the bonus bird food included in every box of cereal. IMHO, anyway.

I have a plastic container that all the "little bits" of cereal left gets put. You get an interesting mix of cereals and is ideal if you don't know what you want for breakfast! A bowl of this and you are getting at least 5 different cereals in your bowl!

I bung the last bits into the famous 'twinks' hobnobs!

Whenever you're making something that requires breadcrumbs just add your leftover cereal.

It's free birdfood here.....unless I'm making flapjacks or similar when it goes into those.

If anyone can suggest something, the Old Stylers can, right?

What do you do with all the crumby bits that end up at the bottom of the cereal packets. I seem to throw loads away, and it seems a huge waste.

There must be something nice I can do with them - either each individual packet, or a "medley of crumbs".

Just eat them.
Once they've got milk on, and mushed up a bit, you can't tell.

freeze them, keep adding until you have a fair amount, then you could use to roll "melting moment" type biscuits in before you cook them, or keep for sprinkling on yoghurt?

save them up in a pot in the freezer then when you have enough use them as a biscuity type base for a cheesecake mixed with some melted butter and some brown sugar. I like bran flakes for cereal so it helps off-set the cream cheese of the cheese cake to make it slightly more healthier

Ssh... it gets mixed in with the crumble. Saved in yet another pretty jar
No 2 crumbles taste the same
