Chocolate cornflake cakes are a popular and simple dessert or snack made from chocolate, cornflakes, and sometimes additional ingredients like syrup or butter.
To make chocolate cornflake cakes, chocolate is melted over low heat or in a microwave, then mixed with cornflakes until they are fully coated. The mixture is then spooned into paper cupcake or muffin cases and left to cool and harden. Some recipes may also include additional ingredients such as syrup or butter to help bind the mixture together or to add sweetness and flavor.
Chocolate cornflake cakes are typically served as a sweet snack or dessert and are particularly popular with children. They are easy and quick to make and require no baking, making them a convenient and tasty treat to prepare at home.
