- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or use 1 cup of either)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup golden syrup or light corn syrup
Instructions
- Prepare Liners: Line a muffin tin with paper liners or place cupcake liners on a baking tray.
- Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate chips, butter, and syrup. Melt together using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
- Coat Cornflakes: Place the cornflakes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cornflakes and gently stir until the cereal is fully coated.

- Serve: Serve cold or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a fun twist, top with mini chocolate eggs, sprinkles, or sea salt.
