Honey Joys Ingredients:
- 4 cups cornflakes

- 90g (3 oz) butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
Optional:
- sprinkles, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips for topping
Preheat & Prepare:
Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F).
Line a muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
Make the Syrup:
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, sugar, and honey together.
Stir continuously until sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble (about 2 minutes).
Mix:
Place cornflakes in a large bowl.
Pour the hot honey mixture over the cornflakes and gently mix to coat evenly.
Portion:
Spoon the mixture into the paper cases.
Press lightly to shape, and top with sprinkles or nuts if desired.
Bake & Cool:
Bake for 10 minutes or until golden.
Allow to cool completely in the tray so they set.
Recipe Notes :
Cornflakes: Use fresh, crunchy cornflakes for the best texture. Stale cereal may result in less crispness.
Sweetness Level: Adjust the sugar quantity to suit your taste preferences.
Toppings: Customize your Honey Joys with optional toppings like rainbow sprinkles, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
Dairy-Free Option: Substitute butter with a plant-based margarine for a dairy-free version.
