Fancy Chocolate Cornflakes.
This is a recipe that I've had for years... stolen from my mum's recipe book once upon a time and now imprinted on my brain forever. It's so easy and so much tastier than just stirring cornflakes into melted chocolate.
I'll be honest... These aren't all that healthy or good for you... they are a little bit naughty and bloody lovely.
2 Ounces (57g) unsalted Butter
2 Tablespoons Golden Syrup
2 Ounces (57g) Drinking Chocolate powder
Cornflakes
*These measurements don't make a massive amount but it's really easy just to double or triple the measures as needed. You could also make them with Rice Krispies, they work just as well and are also really tasty.
For this batch I doubled the quantity.
Method:
- Melt the butter and golden syrup in a saucepan over a low heat.
- Once it has all melted and starts bubbling like this, take it straight off the heat.
- Stir in the the chocolate powder.
*I always use something like Cadbury's drinking chocolate or supermarket own brand. Nothing too fancy. I tried Galaxy hot chocolate powder once and it didn't work too well.*
- Once everything is nicely mixed you can start adding the cornflakes. I start with a big handful first and stir... then add more gradually until all the flakes are nicely coated. Really scrape the bottom of the pan when mixing so you don't miss any good bits.
- Press into a baking tray, dish or into individual paper cases. Refrigerate for around 30 - 60 mins depending on how set you want them.

| make sure you really press it all in so it doesn't crumble when eating! |
- Eat the bits that are stuck to the spoon while you wait.
- Once chilled and set, cut up into chunks and serve with a nice cup of tea.
And there you are... they're that easy.
Let me know if you make any and how they went down!
