Honey Joys Ingredients:
- 4 cups cornflakes
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 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 — stale ones won’t give that signature crisp.
Custom Toppings : Add fun toppings like rainbow sprinkles, coconut flakes, or white chocolate drizzle.
Butter Substitute : For a dairy-free version, try using a plant-based margarine.
Storage : Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days (if they last that long!).
Party Favourite : These are perfect for party platters, lunchboxes, or nostalgic treats.
