Ingredients
- 4 cups Cornflakes
- 0.25 cup Butter
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, honey, and sugar. Stir gently until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Place the cornflakes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm honey mixture over the cornflakes and gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spoon the coated cornflakes into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each one evenly and pressing down lightly to compact them.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the Honey Crackles are lightly golden and smell fragrant.
Step 7
Remove the tin from the oven and allow the Honey Crackles to cool completely in the tin. They will harden as they cool.
Step 8
Once cool, remove the Honey Crackles from the paper liners and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
