cheerios cake/flapjack
20 Answers
You know how you can make cakes or flackjacky type things from cereals, has anyone ever heard of a recipe using cheerios?
When I googled it nothing relevant came up.
And if there isn't a recipe that already exists, would i be better keeping the cheerios whole or crumbling them, so they are more like chunky oats?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I would think the best bet would be to follow a recipe for cornflake cake which can either be done with chocolate (just melt the chocolate and stir in cereal then leave to set in tray) or with marshmallows (not sure of exact recipe for this one!) and I suppose you could add raisins, cherries or other dried fruit to make it more flapjack-y. I would keep the Cheerios whole myself!
two recipes for cereals:
toffee mallow crunch
4 oz soft toffees
4 oz butter
4 oz marshmallows
5 oz cereal (i used rice crispies)
warm toffees for a minute or two in the micro. stir and add marshmallows. warm for a further minute and stir again. make sure it's all melted. add half rice crispies and stir to cover completely. add rest of them and stir again. press into greased dish and leave to cool.
mars bar cake
3 mars bars
3 and a half oz marg or butter
3 cups rice crispies (or any cereal)
melt mars bars in pan and stir in rice crispies. spread in flt tine and leave for one hour.
make topping (one and a half oz. marg or butter, 6 tablespoons or icing sugar, some cocoa powder. mix it all together). spread over rice crispie mixture and chill.

My mother used to make cake "thingys" (pace Molly) by the simple expedient of filling small paper baking cases with corn flakes or rice krispies, covering them with melted chocolate then waiting till they cooled and hardened. Should be the same for any small breakfast cereal. (Not with Weetabix or Shredded Wheat though, as they don't make the paper cases big enough).
"a melted concoction of butter, sugar and syrup" All very well, but just try cleaning the pan afterwards! It is for this very reason that I no longer cook scrambled eggs (which I adore) in a pan, even though they are infinitely superior to those done in a microwave. Just can't be arsed with cleaning up afterwards. Even soaking it in boiling hot water seems to make no difference.
the secret with microwaved scrambled eggs is to do it very, very slowly, 30 seconds at a time and a good mix up with a fork in between. if you do it too quickly and for too long it turns out like rubber, very nasty.
use 4 eggs, mix them with a little milk and micro for 1 minute. stir well with a folk then do for a further 30 second. repeat until they're almost firm. overdo it by 10 seconds and they're ruined. i bet no-one could tell my microwaved scrambled eggs from ones done in a pan :)
