Instructions

1. Prepare Your Ingredients

Measure out all ingredients.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper or prepare cupcake cases for portioning.

2. Melt the Chocolate

Break the chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Melt using one of the following methods:
- Microwave method: Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth.
- Double boiler method: Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir until melted.
Stir in the butter and golden syrup until well combined.

3. Coat the Cornflakes

Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cornflakes in a large mixing bowl.
Gently fold everything together, ensuring each cornflake is evenly coated.

4. Shape the Clusters

Use a spoon to drop small mounds of the mixture onto the lined baking tray or into cupcake cases.
Press gently to help them hold their shape.

5. Let Them Set

Leave at room temperature for 1 hour to firm up.
For faster results, refrigerate for 30 minutes.

6. Enjoy!

Once fully set, serve and enjoy!
