Ingredients for cornflakes cake

You only need cornflakes, butter, chocolate, and golden syrup to make these chocolate cornflake nests.

Since milk chocolate is the kids' favorite, we prefer to use it, but dark chocolate or even white chocolate can be used in its place.

This recipe doesn't require cooking chocolate; you may substitute your preferred brand instead.

Microwave technique

The quickest way to melt chocolate is in the microwave. Here are some suggestions for melting butter, chocolate, and golden syrup in a microwave-safe bowl.

It is best to reduce the microwave's power to 50% in order to prevent the butter and chocolate from burning, exploding, or even sputtering.  

Since the power of every microwave varies, start with 30 seconds at 50% power and stir.  

Once everything is melted together and smooth, return to the microwave for 30-second intervals (still at 50% power) and stir.

Pan Method

Of course, using a pan over the stove in the traditional manner is also an option.  

Half-fill a saucepan with water. To prevent the water from spilling into the bowl, place a heatproof bowl on top of the pan; it should fit snugly.

Chocolate, golden syrup, and butter are added to the pan over low heat. Stir until thoroughly smooth and combined.

Regardless of the method you use to melt the chocolate, once it has done so, pour it over the cornflakes and gently stir everything together until everything is evenly coated.

Be careful to not crush any of the cornflakes as you gently fold the mixture a sufficient number of times to evenly coat it with the delectable chocolate mixture.

It won't matter if the children break these chocolate cornflakes cakes if you let them make them on their own, of course. They will still be very delicious.

While the cornflakes are setting, give the children the bowl to lick out; this should keep them quiet.

How to set

Of course, if the children are impatient and want to eat them right away, they can.
