Cornflake Crack Toffee Treat (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base Ingredients
01 -
1/2 cup salted butter
02 -
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
03 -
3 cups cornflakes cereal (measured slightly less than 3 cups and not heaping)
04 -
12 ounces chocolate
→ Optional Topping
05 -
Maldon sea salt flakes
# Instructions:
01 -
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the cornflakes evenly on the sheet in a single layer to ensure even coating.
02 -
In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat while stirring continuously until smooth. Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
03 -
Pour the butter-sugar mixture over the cornflakes, stirring gently with a heat-resistant spatula to coat evenly. Shape the coated cornflakes into a rectangle, pressing them together.
04 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the coated mixture for 9-12 minutes, checking halfway through. Press the edges toward the center if needed to ensure even baking.
05 -
Once baked, allow the tray to cool completely. The mixture will harden as it cools. Break the hardened mixture into pieces of your desired size.
06 -
Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Dip half of each piece into the melted chocolate and lay on parchment paper to set.
07 -
For an extra salty-sweet combination, sprinkle Maldon sea salt flakes over the chocolate-dipped pieces before the chocolate sets.
# Notes:
01 -
Do not measure heaping cups of cornflakes; if needed, err on the side of slightly less than 3 cups for better coating.
