Step 4: Place the shredded wheat mixture in a non stick cupcake tin.  You can also use a cupcake wrapper for less mess.  Mold the mixture around the sides of the tin or wrapper.  Make sure the middle is flat so you can fill it with goodies later.  Place tin in the refrigerator or 15-20 minutes or until hard.
