Cornflake Cakes

yram_slim

You’ve probably had this one before, but has anyone got a recipe for cornflake nests? I’m looking for one which does not involve just adding melted chocolate to cornflakes. I’m sure there was a way to make these using marg. or butter, golden syrup and cocoa powder but I don’t know the amounts. Maybe I just dreamt it anyway. Cheers!

I have done them in the past with golden syrup but still used melted chocolate..... also used mars bars..... sorry can't remember exact qty but if I were to do it I would probably use 2 tbsp golden syrup with a bar of cooking chocolate.

Hi,

This is the receipe I use to make Rice Crispie cakes:

2 oz butter
2 tbl sp golden syrup
4 1/2 oz choc plain or milk
2 3/4 oz rice crispies

method
grease a 8 inch square cake tin and line with baking paper
melt the choc, butter and g/s over a pan of simmering water, remove from heat when all melted then add cereal, press into prepared tin and smooth the surface
chill in the fridge until hardened
lift out of tin and using a sharp knife cut into pieces

i usualy use margerine for this or block stork and it works just as well, and instead of using golden syrup have been known to use maple syrup and it is equally delicious.
