Corn Flakes

In the U.S. there is an entire aisle devoted to cereal. You can have sweetened, unsweetened, corn, wheat, rice, bran etc....whatever your heart desires. Here the cereal choices are VERY limited and the majority of them are sweetened cereal. The one cereal that you can get that isn't sweetened is corn flakes. (You can get rice krispies and grape nuts at the British shop if you want to spend a lot of money) I have tried the few brands of corn flakes that are available and they are all terrible! I feel that in the U.S. when you buy corn flakes they don't really have that much flavor but here they really taste like corn. The corn flavor is really overwhelming. In any event, I have had a couple of bags of corn flakes sitting here for quite some time that no one will eat. I have finally found a use for the corn flakes. I can make a dessert with the corn flakes. Two of the British moms in Sofia's class had told me to just melt chocolate in a pan and stir in the corn flakes then drop them on balls into muffin cups and let them cool so that the chocolate solidifies again. It is really quite tasty. It gives the chocolate a nice crunch to it. I'm happy that I have some way of using up the corn flakes now!
