Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g dark chocolate preferably good quality
  • 150 g cornflakes lightly toasted optional
  • 50 g unsalted butter melted

Equipment

  • 20x20cm (8x8 inch) pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Spatula
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Line your pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 30-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth and glossy.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate over the cornflakes in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Gently fold the chocolate into the cornflakes with a spatula, being careful not to crush the flakes too much, until evenly coated.
  5. Add in the melted butter and fold it into the mixture, ensuring everything is well combined and sticky enough to hold together.
  6. Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and press it firmly with the back of a spatula or your hand, creating an even layer.
  7. Place the pan in the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are set and firm.
  8. Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into squares with a sharp knife.
  9. Arrange the bars on a serving plate and enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt or add chopped nuts before pressing into the pan. Lightly toasting the cornflakes enhances their aroma and flavor, but is optional for maximum crunch. Using high-quality chocolate makes a noticeable difference in taste and texture.
