How Are You Using Your Corn Flakes?

If you're like me, you have a good stock of Corn Flakes in your pantry. How have you been using them? I've tried a number of different things, they've all turned out quite good, and there were no pictures taken before they were devoured.

Our favorite was fruit dessert the other night.
I used the Corn Flakes as you would use graham cracker crumbs.

Fruit Dessert

I used about 4 cups of Corn Flakes, crushed slightly
1/2 cup of butter
1/3 cup sugar.
Mix well and pat into bottom of 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes, until lightly browned.

Remove from oven and cool.

Mix together:
4 oz cream cheese
40z vanilla yogurt
4oz cool whip or whipped cream
( I had about 1/4 cup of powdered sugar frosting which I threw in)
Spread over cooled crust.
Top with cut up fruit. ( blueberries, raspberries, pineapple, kiwi. I used a mix of frozen and fresh)
Very good!


Corn Flake Bars

1 10oz pkg marshmellows
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup peanut butter ( optional)
Melt the above together, stir well to mix.
Pour over about 6 cups of Corn Flakes. Add more cereal if needed. Press into greased 9x13 pan. Allow to cool.

Corn Flake Chicken
Crush 4 cups of Corn Flakes - put into gallon size zip lock.
Sprinkle into the bag a generous amount of the 'cooking' seasonings you have ( chili powder, garlic, onion, basil, pepper, salt, oregano, etc.) Get creative... I add probably a 1/2 tsp of each of these...

Mix together. Wash your chicken pieces... remove the skin. While still damp, place a few pieces at a time into the bag. Shake well. Put chicken pieces on a greased baking pan.
Bake at 350 for about an hour. Check at the end of baking time to insure proper cooking temperature.

If you're making a casserole of any type, add a few tbls. of butter to a couple cups of corn flakes and sprinkle on top. Makes a plain 'ole mac-n-cheese a gourmet meal!
