Chocolate cornflake cakes are a nostalgic treat that will transport you back to your childhood. They are a very popular children’s treat in the UK. They are very easy to make, with only 4 ingredients needed.
We had half a box of cornflakes and some golden syrup which were going to be going out of date at the end of the month, so this was the perfect time for us to make this treat.
Ingredients:
50g Unsalted Butter, 3 Tbsp Golden Syrup , 100g Cornflakes, 100g Milk Chocolate
How to make cornflake cakes
Step 1: Line a muffin or cupcake tin with 12 cupcake cases.
Step 2: Break up 100g of milk chocolate into segments and place them into a saucepan, along with 50g of unsalted butter
Step 3: Place the saucepan over low heat and stir it, every so often, until there are no lumps or chocolate.
Step 4: Add in 3 tbsp of golden syrup and mix well
Step 5: Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool down for a couple of minutes.
Step 6: Mix the chocolate mixture with the cornflakes. Make sure they are evenly coated, as this will help the cakes stick together better as they set.
Step 7: Add the mixture to the cupcake cases. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes to set. Keep in an airtight container to store them.
