Notes

  • Cornflakes - Use fresh cornflakes for the best crisp and crunch. If they are old they may turn chewy.
  • Melting syrup - Use low medium or low heat for melting. Take care not to burn the sugar so keep stirring in low flame, do not leave unattended.
  • Boiling - Once the mixture turns frothy switch off. Do not over boil as the syrup may turn hard and will not be able to combine wit cornflakes.
  • Coat cornflakes - Add the hot syrup immediately to the cornflakes and mix them gently until combined. Avoid crushing and breaking them. Whole flakes creates better texture and appearance.
  • Fill the cases - Use medium sized liners. Fill the muffin or cupcakes cases loosely, do not press the mixture too tight. Light filling allows air gaps giving honey joys their classic crunchy bite.
  • Baking - Bake at low temperature to avoid burning, it also helps them turn golden and crisp.
  • Cooling - Cool completely then unwrap else it will be sticky. Store in a dry airtight container.
