Ingredients
- 4 ½ cups corn flakes
- 80 grams butter
- ¼ cup caster sugar (55 grams)
- 2 tablespoons honey (40 ml)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160 degrees celsius / 320 degrees fahrenheit (fan-forced).
- Line 14 cupcake tins with patty pans.
- Melt butter, sugar and honey in a large saucepan over low-medium heat, stirring regularly. (You want the saucepan to be large enough to allow the addition of the Corn Flakes to the saucepan.)
- Once melted, bring the mixture to a frothy boil but remove from heat as soon as it reaches this point.
- Add the Corn Flakes to the mixture in the saucepan and stir quickly to combine. Crush with the spoon a little as you stir to break some of the flakes.
- Spoon into patty pans and firm up/shape with a spoon or your hands (provided the mixture has cooled enough to not burn you).
- Bake for 7 minutes.
- Once removed from oven, allow to cool.
