Chocolate cornflakes

My generation was (I think) the first to discover the delight of Kellog’s Cornflakes covered with chocolate and put in paper cake cups. We had no idea they were so simple to make, we just loved the combination of crunch and sweetness.  Nowadays, even the thought of them makes my mouth ache! But these simple cakes (if you can call them a cake) have endured and been fed to hungry children for another two generations – there’s a TV ad running at the moment on ITV showing children helping their mother make them – just as I did fifty years ago. This is my mum’s original recipe.
