Can I make cornflake cakes with

Thanks

    Ditto the above.

    The idea sounds tasty. Lets us know how they turn out if you give them a go.

    I bet they are lovely.
    I have used bran flakes and raisins before now and DD loved them.
    I think most cereals with chocolate on will go down just fine.
  • Sounds absolutely gorgeous! Sweet, nutty & chocolatey! Wish I had some! By the way, MrT Value milk chocolate is lovely to use in cornflake cakes.:T

    I disagree, it sounds horrible to me. Wouldn't they be overly sweet?

    I made some cornflake cakes with frosties (out of date, but don't tell anyone!) the other week and I thought they tasted great! Sweet, but just cut a little bit of the sugar out and the sweetness should balance!

    Oh I think I may have confused people I just meant the cornflake cakes with melted chocolate I don't add sugar? :o

    I always used to make cornflake cakes with any leftover cereal & they always turned out fine, and at Easter I made them with shredded wheat & made chocolate nests just add 2 or 3 mini eggs to them.

  • chelltune - I have a VERY sweet tooth!!! Maybe using dark chocolate would take some of the sweetness away?
