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.

PEANUT BUTTER CORNFLAKE BARS
Peanut butter cornflake bars were one of my favorite treats when I was a little girl. If you like chocolate, I have a friend who spreads 1 cup of melted chocolate chips over the top. Let the chocolate set before cutting into the bars. -Laura Campbell, Lisbon, Maine

Tips for Making Cornflake Chews:
- Use fresh cornflakes for the best results. Stale cornflakes will not hold their shape as well.
- Be careful not to overcook the sugar syrup. If the syrup is too thick, the chews will be hard and brittle.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the chews from sticking.
- Allow the chews to cool completely before cutting them into bars.
Conclusion:
Cornflake chews are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of chews that will be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give cornflake chews a try!
