Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

4 cups cornflakes
90 g ¼ cup + 2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
Optional
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Sprinkles for decoration
Melted chocolate for drizzling

Equipment

Medium saucepan
Large mixing bowl
Wooden spoon or silicone spatula
Measuring cups and spoons
Muffin tin (12-cup)
Paper cupcake liners
Cooling rack

Method

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, honey, and sugar over low heat, stirring until smooth.
Place the cornflakes in a large bowl.
Pour the warm honey mixture over the cornflakes.
Gently fold until all the cornflakes are evenly coated.
Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared cupcake liners.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the Honey Joys to cool completely before serving.

Notes

Use fresh cornflakes for the crunchiest texture.
Stir gently to avoid crushing the cereal.
Do not overcook the butter and honey mixture, as it can burn.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
For extra flavor, drizzle cooled Honey Joys with melted chocolate or sprinkle with shredded coconut.
