Easter Chocolate Cornflake Cakes

Hello everyone! Today, Granny and I did some baking and one of the things we made were 12 yummy chocolate cornflake cakes, perfect for sharing with the family this Easter. So, if you're a fan of an indulgent chocolate treat, read on...

 Ingredients:

For the cakes

• 225g chocolate (milk, white or dark)
• 50g butter
• 1tbsp  golden syrup
• 75g cornflakes

For decoration

• Mini eggs

Equipment:

• 12 paper cases
• 12-hole muffin tin
• Wooden spoon
• Bowl
• Saucepan

Method:

1.  Firstly, break up the chocolate and dice the butter, placing it in a bowl before adding a heaped spoonful of golden syrup.
2. Then, half-fill a saucepan with boiling water and place the bowl with the chocolate, butter and golden syrup in it over the water. Over a low heat, combine all three ingredients together, stirring it gently every so often.
3. Once the mixture is smooth and glossy, remove from the heat and pour in the cornflakes.
4. With a large wooden spoon, coat all the cornflakes in chocolate.
5. Now, line a muffin tin with 12 paper cases and spoon cornflakes into them.
6. Pop two or three mini eggs on the top and cover them in cling film before putting them in the fridge to set for at least an hour.
7. Lastly, offer them around to your friends and family (who'd say no to one of these?!), but make sure there's enough left for you as, believe me, you wouldn't want to miss out on one of these little beauties!

In case I don't post tomorrow, I hope you all have a fab Easter! Please let me know if you'd like to see more recipe posts in the future; I love writing them just as much as I love eating what I've baked!
