My favourite type of cake has always been Chocolate Cornflake cakes. Is it the Crispiness and the sort of mixture of crisps and chocolate? Is it the association with School Dinners which I loved? Is it a harking back to childhood nostalgia? Who knows, but I love them!
A while back, I decided I wanted to make some plastic-free Chocolate Cornflake cakes but when I went to the Refill room, she had discontinued them because they hadn't been selling. I was sad and explained that I wanted to make the aforementioned treat (speaking of which, a moment's break whilst I go to the cupboard...)
And the owner suggested I could try using their organic Puffed Quinoa cereal instead. I decided to give it a go.
Using the Puffed quinoa, a bar of Fairtrade Dark chocolate and some local Essex honey, I did the usual, "heat the chocolate in a saucepan in a bowl of water and mixed the three ingredients and then spooned them into lumps on a baking tray with Greaseproof paper. Then refrigerated them and bingo- treats for every evening!
Crunch!
I like these kind of treats but milk chocolate for me and my sweet tooth. We always had these at school things - a simple crowd-pleaser xx
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat a chocolate crispy bun, no matter how you make it. Great recipe.
ReplyDeleteAh so easy! When you said on Instagram you'd used quinoa, I pictured it unpuffed, uncooked, and wondered what you did with... I didn't think of puffed quinoa! I'll have to try this but I'll use agave syrup as I don't do honey!
ReplyDeleteThey look yummy, and seem so surprisingly easy that even I might manage to make them ;-) xxx
