Ingredients
- 4 cups Cornflakes
- 90 grams Butter
- 1/3 cup Honey
- 1/3 cup Caster sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper cupcake liners.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter, honey, and caster sugar over low heat, stirring until all ingredients are combined and the sugar is dissolved (around 3-4 minutes).
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it simmer for 2 minutes while stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Place the cornflakes in a large mixing bowl and pour the hot honey mixture over them.
Step 5
Gently stir the cornflakes with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until they are evenly coated with the honey mixture.
Step 6
Spoon the coated cornflakes into the prepared paper liners, filling each one evenly and pressing them down slightly to help them hold their shape.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Be cautious not to overbake as the honey can quickly darken.
Step 8
Allow the Honey Joys to cool completely in the muffin tray to set before serving.
Step 9
Enjoy your Honey Joys as a delightful treat or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
