Refresh your cereal
If your cereal is soft or stale, place them on a baking sheet and place it in the oven for a couple of minutes at 170 °C to crisp up again. You can then eat it normally with milk or use them in one of our delicious recipes.

Ice cream topping
The sweeter varieties of cereal make a great topping for ice cream and desserts.
Breadcrumb alternative
This might sound a little mad but you can use crushed up cereal, such as cornflakes and rice krispies, to make breadcrumbs to be used on nuggets, kievs or chicken strips. They make a great crunch and add a bit of sweetness to any dish.
Pasta bake topper
To add a bit of crunch to your pasta bake, cook your pasta bake as normal and before you put in on for the final bake, add some grated cheese and crushed cornflakes- it makes a delicious crunch topper!
