Chocolate cornflakes

These chocolate cornflake cakes are an easy, no‑bake treat made with crunchy cornflakes coated in smooth melted chocolate. Perfect for parties, lunchboxes, or quick homemade snacks, they come together in minutes and always deliver that classic chocolatey crunch.

They’re great fun to make with the kids (grown‑ups too), and depending on their age, little ones can even take the lead — mixing the chocolate into the cornflakes and happily spooning the mixture into the cases, mess and all. It’s simple, nostalgic baking at its best… enjoy.
