Cornflake Crack Toffee Treat (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1/2 cup salted butter
02 -
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
03 -
3 cups cornflakes cereal (not heaping)
04 -
12 ounces chocolate
05 -
Maldon sea salt flakes (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the cornflakes evenly on the sheet in a single layer for even coating.
02 -
Melt the butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until smooth and melted. Cook the mixture for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
03 -
Pour the butter-sugar mixture over the cornflakes. Gently stir with a heat-resistant spatula to coat the cornflakes evenly. Shape into a rectangle, pressing the coated mixture together.
04 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cornflake mixture for 9-12 minutes. Check halfway through and press the edges into the center with a spatula if needed. Baking allows the mixture to caramelize and set.
05 -
Allow the baked tray to cool completely. Once cooled and hardened, break the mixture into pieces of your desired size.
06 -
Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval. Dip half of each cornflake piece into the melted chocolate and lay them on parchment paper to set. Optionally, sprinkle with Maldon sea salt flakes for a salty-sweet finish.
# Notes:
01 -
Measure cornflakes accurately and avoid heaping cups to ensure even coating.
