Healthier Chocolate Cornflake Cakes Recipes

CORNFLAKE CAKES

Steps:

• Break the block(s) of cooking chocolate into pieces and place into a large microwaveable bowl
• Add to that bowl, the butter, golden syrup and marshmallows
• Put into the microwave, and cook for 20 seconds, then stir, then another 20 seconds, then stir, then another 20 seconds - repeat this until the mixture is soft and melted (once the chocolate/butter begin to melt, you should be able to stir to melt it all, without needing to re-microwave)
• Once all melted, add in the cornflakes and use a spatula or large spoon to stir to coat the cornflakes
• Then, lay out 6 muffin cases (or 8-12 smaller cupcake cases) and spoon the mixture into each. Make sure to press it down slightly so there aren't large gaps within the mix
• If using, place 2-3 mini eggs on top of the cakes
• Put in the fridge for 10 minutes (or leave at room temperature for 30 mins) to allow the mixture to 'set' - then eat and enjoy!

HEALTHIER CHOCOLATE CORNFLAKE CAKES

Steps:

• Place 12 fairy cake cases into a bun tin or on a baking tray.
• Break up 200g dark chocolate into small pieces and place in a heat proof bowl. Put this bowl over a small pan with 1 inch water and heat gently until melted.
• When the chocolate has just melted add 2 tablespoons coconut oil, 2 tablespoons maple syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
• Remove from the heat carefully.
• Stir through 75g cornflakes and 50g raisins. If children are making this you may want to put the cornflakes and raisins into a separate bowl and put the chocolate into a jug for them to pour. Mix well with a wooden spoon.
• Spoon the cornflake mixture into the cases.
• Set in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

COOKING WITH KIDS: CHOCOLATE CORNFLAKE CAKES

Steps:

• Children: Weigh out the ingredients. Older children can do this by themselves with supervision and little ones can help to pour or spoon ingredients into the weighing scales. Put 50g butter, 100g milk or dark chocolate, broken into chunks and 3 tbsp golden syrup in a saucepan or microwavable bowl. Put 100g cornflakes in another large bowl.
• Grown ups: Melt the weighed butter, chocolate and golden syrup in the saucepan over a low heat or briefly in the microwave. Allow to cool a little before pouring over the cornflakes.
• Children: Stir the ingredients together gently using a wooden spoon. Spoon the mixture into 12 cupcake cases arranged on a muffin tray (or baking sheet, if you don't have one). Grown ups will need to do this for younger children or simply arrange on a tray and let the mess happen. Put in the fridge to set.
