CORNFLAKE CRUNCHIES
I got this recipe straight off of a box of cornflakes. It is really good and easy to make. Great for those bake sales. Cook time is per cookie sheet. For a larger cookie you will yield around 24 crunchies and should cook 20-22 minutes.

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.

HOMEMADE CORN FLAKES CEREAL
This recipe for corn flakes cereal made from scratch bakes in the oven. It stays crunchy in milk and has a lovely sweet and toasted corn flavor that is almost identical to that of the boxed cereal. The recipe makes a small batch (enough for 2 to 3 small bowls of cereal), but you can easily double or triple it-just be sure to divide the batter into additional baking sheets so that it doesn't come out too thick. This cereal is also great to snack on, to top yogurt or ice cream, or to crush to use as breading.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and grease lightly with oil or baking spray.
- Whisk 1 cup of the cornmeal with the sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Add the vanilla extract and 3/4 cup water, a little at a time, stirring until the batter is smooth and thin. If it's too dry, add additional water. You want something the consistency of pancake batter.
- Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread out evenly. (It won't reach the edges, but that's OK. You want a nice thin layer, about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick.)
- Combine the remaining 1/2 cup cornmeal with 1 teaspoon water and mix until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs; add an additional teaspoon or 2 of water, if too dry.
- Sprinkle the top of the batter with the cornmeal crumbs (this will help give it a little extra crunchy texture).
- Bake on the center rack, keeping a close eye on it, until the dough has dried out and cracked, 10 to 15 minutes. You're looking for a cracked arid-desert landscape look to it.
- Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F. Let the baking sheet cool, then use your hands to tear and crack the dough into small flakes. Return to the oven and bake on the center rack until the pieces are toasted, crisp, and golden, about 45 minutes.
- Let cool completely before serving with milk or as you would any cereal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 2 weeks.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
- If you don't have light corn syrup, you can substitute an equal amount of honey or maple syrup.
- Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture, or it will become hard and brittle.
- Stir the cornflakes constantly while coating them with the sugar mixture, so they are evenly coated.
- Spread the coated cornflakes in a single layer on a baking sheet to prevent them from clumping together.
- Store the Cornflake Crunchies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Cornflake Crunchies are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover cornflakes and are sure to be a hit with people of all ages. These sweet and crunchy treats are also very versatile and can be customized to your liking. For example, you can add different nuts, seeds, or dried fruits to the mixture. Get creative and have fun!
