About Chocolate Cornflakes

Chocolate Cornflakes are made by first melting chocolate, mixing it with cornflakes and adding sprinkles on top. The mixture is then divided into small batches and left to freeze until it hardens. You get a nice crunch from the cornflakes with a soft chocolate coating – such a nice mix in each bite.

You can use chocolate chips or cooking chocolate, whatever you have on hand. I mostly use dark and milk chocolate as it is well balanced and doesn’t make it too sweet. If you like a rich flavour, you can also add a few drops of vanilla essence. Sprinkle sugar beads or small colored sprinkles on top for a festive look.

The recipe is flexible. You can keep it simple or add nuts and dry fruits to it. For a more indulgent version you can add roasted seeds, even small marshmallows. You can also sprinkle a little sea salt on top for a sweet and salty taste. Totally your choice, just use whatever you like and whatever you have at home.

Expert Tips

• melting chocolate – I melted the chocolate using the double boiler method because it melts evenly. If you heat directly on the stove it may burn or become grainy, so it is better to avoid this.
• chocolate consistency – It should be smooth and runny so that it coats the cornflakes well. If it becomes too thick, add a teaspoon of butter to loosen it and mix.
• mixture – You must work fast once the chocolate has melted. Mix the cornflakes gently so that they do not lose their crunchy texture.
• to set time – Place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes – 1 hour so that it hardens. If the weather is cool, you can even set up outside.
• change in taste -You can try adding a pinch of cinnamon powder for warmth or a little coffee powder for a mocha-like flavor.

serving and storage

Serve it cold or even at room temperature. It is good for tea time snack, lunch or dinner small dessert or even for kids snack boxes. If packing for a lunch box, simply wrap each piece in butter paper so they don’t stick together. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Take out just before serving so that it remains crisp.
