Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams golden syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams cornflakes
- 200 grams dark chocolate
Instructions
Line a 20 cm x 20 cm square baking tin with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and golden syrup over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
Allow the mixture to simmer while stirring occasionally until it reaches a deep amber color or registers about 150°C (302°F) on a candy thermometer.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Place the cornflakes into a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot toffee mixture over the cornflakes.
Gently mix the cornflakes and toffee together until evenly coated.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking tin using a spatula.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes or until fully set.
Melt the dark chocolate gently in a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently.
Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled toffee cornflake layer, spreading evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate again for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
Once set, remove from the tin and cut into 12 squares. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
