Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cornflakes
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and honey. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each session, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth (this should take about 1-2 minutes total). Alternatively, melt the mixture in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method).
Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract and salt until evenly incorporated.
Place the cornflakes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cornflakes, and gently fold until all the cornflakes are evenly coated with the chocolate.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the chocolate-coated cornflake mixture onto the lined baking sheet. Shape each mound slightly with the spoon if needed.
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the cookies with sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet for added decoration.
Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to speed up the process.
Once the chocolate has hardened, the cookies are ready to serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
