Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cornflakes
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Golden syrup
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.75 cup Chopped mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts)
- 200 grams Dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
Line a 9x9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the edges overhang for easy removal later.
Place the cornflakes in a large mixing bowl and gently crush them with your hands to break them into smaller pieces. Add the chopped mixed nuts (and shredded coconut if using) to the bowl.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the golden syrup and brown sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to bubble and the sugar is fully dissolved.
Pour the butter mixture over the cornflake and nut mixture, and quickly stir to combine, ensuring all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and press it down firmly with a spatula or the back of a spoon to create an even layer.
Melt the dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring frequently until smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the cornflake mixture in the pan, spreading it out evenly to cover the entire surface.
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the slice is set and firm.
Once set, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the slice out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 12 equal squares or rectangles.
Store the slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
