GUILTY of leaving cereal in the bottom of a packet?
It’s time to turn those leftovers into something special.

From broken Weetabix to not-so-crunchy cornflakes, transform the scraps into a snack or handy food ingredient.
A BIG CRUSH: Crushed cornflakes make a great replacement for breadcrumbs on homemade fish fingers or chicken nuggets.
To make nuggets for four people, chop four chicken breasts into chunks, dip them into a bowl of seasoned flour, then another of two beaten eggs, then finally a third bowl of 125g crushed cornflakes.
Cook on a lined baking tray for 20 minutes at 180 to 200C.

SNACK ATTACK: Cornflakes and rice cereal are a favourite treat for kids when they are covered in chocolate and stuck together in cupcake cases.
But there are plenty of other ways to use up cereal in bakes and cakes, from the easy blueberry Weetabix muffins at elizabethskitchendiary.co.uk to the breakfast bars, made with multigrain hoops, at bbcgoodfood.com.
Even when you’re making flapjacks, you can substitute some of the oats with cereal scraps.
