what the heck do you do w/ bags of maple/brwn sugar frosted mini wheats?

Question

i was given these by my husband's exwife.  they are like one week out of date - still perfectly good.  but, here's the problem - my stepsons don't eat them, my husband doesn't eat them.  my daughter and i do, but you can only eat so many!  i have given some away to neighbors, but i still have about 15 bags left.

i don't want them to go to waste...we are going to a halloween party this week, and i figure there has got to be something i can make w/ them to take!  i love to cook and create my own dishes, but am running out of ideas on this one!

thanks!

Crush them up a little (about 5-8 cups), add some shredded coconut, a few tablespoons of jam, some milk, a cup of crushed nuts, dried fruit such as raisins, dried cranberries, dates, sultanas and dried apricots, a cup of breadcrumbs, two tablespoons of custard powder, half a cup of fruit juice, two tablespoons of cocoa. Mix well. Spread in a greased cake tin and bake for about 50 - 70 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes in pan, then turn out, cut into fingers. Eat warm or cold with ice cream or warm custard.

Good luck.

Hmmm You could mix with a few other ingredients and make like a trail mix out of it and take to the party. Also take the extra bags with you and do a "cereal walk" you know like a cake walk but you end up with a bag of cereal. I don't know that's all that I can think of. Hope it helps.
Good Luck.

Crush them up, mix with melted butter, and use as a topping for apple crumble.

You would need to experiment a bit - but I bet they would make a great crust for a cheesecake.

make into small individual bags, and distribute to tricker treaters^.^

Take them to a food pantry. I'm sure they'd be much appreciated.
