My unashamed favourite breakfast: Chocolate weetabix

Weetabix are normally consumed slightly crumbled up (to fit in the bowl), cold, along with full cream milk and perhaps bananas. Right? Not in my world! I like to dissolve my weetabix into a mixture of sweeteners and cocoa. Then top it with more chocolate. 

As shown, I have topped my weetabix creation off with crushed oreo (actually, I used Delta Creams, but Oreo sounds cooler). When the weetabix have dissolved, I think they might bear a resemblance to the American cereal "cream of wheat." When left to chill overnight, the meal resembles one of those wheat puddings that were popular in the 1950s. Only it's not boring vanilla flavour, and the chocolate somewhat disguises the fact that you are eating a cereal rather than a pudding.

In fact, there are "rum ball" recipes that call for crushed up weetabix in exactly the same way. Exept for the fact that there is also chocolate mud cake, butter and rum essence in there.
