We have a cupboard full of cereal and its time to get rid of it. To save throwing it out I would like to attempt to do something with it.
In particular we have rice bubbles and cornflakes in HUGE amounts that just arent being eaten.
So far I have found recipes for Chocolate clusters (cornflakes with sultanas)
and of course I have to make my favourite mars bar slice but do you have any other ideas.
DD is going to make honey joys, except I have never made ones that I like. Does anyone have a nice recipe for them??
I have seen a recipe somewhere that you use cornflakes crushed up as a crumb on chicken or fish. Not sure where I have seen it but will pop back if I find it! I usually use the Honey Joy recipe on the box and they turn out pretty well.
ETA: taste dot com have a few cookie recipes with CF's as well.
I made some great cornflake cookies awhile ago. Just google cornflake cookies and heaps of recipes come up. I found they were even nicer if I added a little orange rind and juice.
On the side of the coles corn flake box I just put in the recycling box, there is a jam drop biscuit (you know, like the thumb print biscuits). I can post that later if you want. And a nice corn flake and sultana biscuit recipe too.
We are in the process of als making easter eggs for the family...... save some money AND gives DD and I something fun to do together. I figured I might mix some of the rice bubbles in some of the choc mixture. Bit like a crunch.
200g butter, softened
1 cup castor sugar
1 extra large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract/essence
2 cups plain flour, sifted
2 cups corn flakes, lightly crushed with hands
1/3 cup strawberry/raspberry/plum or apricot jam
Preheat oven to 180 or 160 fan forced.
Beat butter and sugar together until creamy.
Beat in egg and vanilla.
Mix in flour and corn flakes.
Roll generous tablespoons of mixture into small balls, place on a lined tray and flatten slightly.
Make an indent in the centre of each cookie with your thumb and fill with jam.
Bake for 18-20 mintutes until firm and slightly golden.
Stand on tray for 10 minutes then cool on wire rack.
Will keep in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
From Coles brand Corn Flakes box.
Would you like the other recipe as well? I may not be able to post that one until later tonight.
