Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cornflakes
- 0.25 cup Butter
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, honey, and sugar. Stir gently until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat.
Place the cornflakes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm honey mixture over the cornflakes and gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until they are evenly coated.
Spoon the coated cornflakes into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each one evenly and pressing down lightly to compact them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the Honey Crackles are lightly golden and smell fragrant.
Remove the tin from the oven and allow the Honey Crackles to cool completely in the tin. They will harden as they cool.
Once cool, remove the Honey Crackles from the paper liners and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
