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.

I include them partly because when looking for a recipe for them recently, I found it surprisingly difficult to find one. Oh come on, don't tell me you don't like them - so get COOKING!!!

- Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients to mix together more easily and create a smoother batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cakes tough.
- Be careful not to overcook the cakes. Overcooked cakes will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cakes cool completely before you frost them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- If you don't have golden syrup, you can substitute honey or maple syrup.
- These cakes can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
