about 6 packets. All I can find on the net is those cakes with sultanas in them. Any other ideas of things to do with them?

just keep them until needed.
Or freeze if you think they will go stale.

Crush the cornflakes and use them as part of a crumb coating for chicken, fish, etc.
Also try doing a search here on this trademe MB using cornflakes as the Keyword and Anytime as the Date posted option.
Unless the cornflake packets are open remember that they will keep if stored in a cool dry place - and they should have a 'best before' date on them which will give you an idea of how long they should remain relatively fresh for, so there should be no major rush to use the cornflakes immediately or in the near future (unless of course, if you've already had all 6 packets for a long time).
Hope that helps.:-))

You can mix cornflakes, cottage cheese, beaten eggs, chopped fried onions and a dash of soya suace. and bake it. Makes a vegetarian "meat" loaf.

One can never have too many cornflakes. Big bowl full every morning with cream and sugar - and they will soon be eaten!

I know this is a really stupid question but-how do you end up with too many cornflakes?

adding corn flakes or rice bubbles to a crumble mix is lovely..
most people i know make a crumble mix of,,, three parts flour,, 2 parts butter and 1 part sugar but i like to make mine,,, 2 part flourand butterplus 1 part sugar,, then i add lots of corn flakes ..
another variety is cornflakes plus coconut to a crumble with a few mixed nuts

crush the cornflakes a bit and add 220g cooking chocolate melted with 50g butter and stir in and push into muffin trays and you get individual little chocolate crackle servings. (i do this with either ricies or cornflakes and only takes 5 mins to do it all) great for when kids turn up unexpected :)
Id say 2-3 cups of cereal to the chocolate mix. but you can just see how much to put in just keep mixing and if they are all covered lightly-med then wahlah!

I have a yummy dessert, even the kids can put it together! Something to try this Labour Weekend! Chocolate Cornflake Dessert: 2 cups cornflakes 1-2 tabs cocoa ½ cup sugar Mix altogether & press into a large Tupperware container. Place in freezer till firm [30 mins or so]. Make up a chocolate instant pudding, adding a cup of whipped cream. Just prior to serving pour over the base, sprinkle with choc chips if desired, yummy!
Melt butter and syrup together. Add to dry ingredients. Mix well then press into flat tin. Bake 180c for 15 mins or until cooked. Ice while hot with lemon icing. Cut when cold.

5 Cup Cookies
1 cup (can) condensed milk 4 cups of whatever you have (cornflakes, coconut, raisins, chopped dates, crushed weetbix, muesli, chopped apricots, choc chips etc)
Mix together. Put spoonfuls onto baking tray and cook at 180 for 10 to 15 mins.
NOTE! mix is sticky and you need to push it togetherbefore baking AND the resulting cookies are very moorish be warned!
