Instructions
- Line two baking trays with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt chocolate: Chop the chocolate, place it in a metal bowl. Find a pot where the bowl fits easily on top, fill it halfway with water and place the bowl with the chocolate on top. Make sure that the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Heat the water but make sure it doesn't start to boil; that will ruin the chocolate. Melt the chocolate, stirring often.
- Combine: When the chocolate is melted, add the shortening and stir until melted and incorporated. Take the bowl off the heat and add the icing sugar and the coconut flakes. Mix everything very well.
- Add the cornflakes in two batches. You might think there are too many cornflakes at first, but don't worry, you will manage to stir all of them into the chocolate.
- Use two teaspoons to spoon small heaps on the baking trays. Leave to set for several hours or overnight.
- Store in an airtight container; they will keep for at least two weeks.

- It is preferable to weigh the chocolate, as the way you chop the chocolate might differ from one person to another, some will chop it finer and some rougher. The cup measuring would be too inexact in this case.
- You can use bittersweet or dark chocolate with a cocoa content between 35% and 75% according to taste.
- If you live in Germany, use Palmin.
