Cornflake Crunch Recipes

COOKING WITH KIDS: CHOCOLATE CORNFLAKE CAKES

Steps:

• Children: Weigh out the ingredients. Older children can do this by themselves with supervision and little ones can help to pour or spoon ingredients into the weighing scales. Put 50g butter, 100g milk or dark chocolate, broken into chunks and 3 tbsp golden syrup in a saucepan or microwavable bowl. Put 100g cornflakes in another large bowl.
• Grown ups: Melt the weighed butter, chocolate and golden syrup in the saucepan over a low heat or briefly in the microwave. Allow to cool a little before pouring over the cornflakes.
• Children: Stir the ingredients together gently using a wooden spoon. Spoon the mixture into 12 cupcake cases arranged on a muffin tray (or baking sheet, if you don't have one). Grown ups will need to do this for younger children or simply arrange on a tray and let the mess happen. Put in the fridge to set.

PEANUT BUTTER CORNFLAKE CRUNCH BARS

Steps:

• Cook syrup and sugar until mixture comes to a boil. Stir constantly; do not overcook.
• Remove from heat, add peanut butter, and stir until smooth. Pour mixture over cornflakes in a large bowl. Mix until cereal is thoroughly coated.
• Spread in a buttered 9 x 13 inch pan and press down lightly with buttered hands. When cool, cut into squares.

HONEY CORNFLAKE CRUNCH COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 165C (330F)
• Melt the butter, sugar and honey together in a large bowl (for the microwave) or pan for stove top, stirring often and allow to cool.
• Add the flour and baking soda (you can sift - I don't!) and stir well
• Add the cornflakes and mix until completely combined.
• The mixture will be a little sticky, but roll into Tablespoon sized balls and spread onto tray, I used two trays as this makes a large batch
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until cookies appear golden, they will still be soft to touch at this point.
• Allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

CORNFLAKE CRUNCH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat; set aside.
• Place cornflakes in a medium bowl. Using your hands, crush to one-quarter of their original size. Add milk powder, sugar, and salt; toss to combine. Add butter and toss to form small clusters.
• Spread cornflake mixture in an even layer on prepared baking sheet. Transfer to oven and bake until clusters are toasted and smell buttery, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

CORNFLAKE ALMOND CRUNCH

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 325°F.
• Toast almonds in a large shallow baking pan until pale golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool, then toss with cornflakes in a large bowl.
• Line bottom of cooled baking pan with foil, then lightly oil foil.
• Whisk together egg white, 3 tablespoons sugar, and salt in a small bowl, then add to cornflake mixture and toss gently to coat well. Arrange mixture in pan in a thin, even layer and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake until nuts and coating are golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a rack. Peel off foil and break into pieces.
