Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cornflakes
- 90 grams Butter
- 1/3 cup Honey
- 1/3 cup Caster sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper cupcake liners.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter, honey, and caster sugar over low heat, stirring until all ingredients are combined and the sugar is dissolved (around 3-4 minutes).
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it simmer for 2 minutes while stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Place the cornflakes in a large mixing bowl and pour the hot honey mixture over them.
Gently stir the cornflakes with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until they are evenly coated with the honey mixture.
Spoon the coated cornflakes into the prepared paper liners, filling each one evenly and pressing them down slightly to help them hold their shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Be cautious not to overbake as the honey can quickly darken.
Allow the Honey Joys to cool completely in the muffin tray to set before serving.
Enjoy your Honey Joys as a delightful treat or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
