Why This Recipe Is So Delicious

These cupcakes combine the rich taste of chocolate with the satisfying crunch of cornflakes. They offer a fun texture contrast that makes each bite interesting. Plus, they are easy to make and perfect for any occasion.

Chef Tips

- Use fresh cornflakes for the best crunch and avoid sogginess.
- Gently fold the cornflakes into the batter to keep them from breaking too much.
- Check the cupcakes with a toothpick before taking them out to avoid overbaking.

Step 1

Melt the chocolate chips, butter, and maple syrup together in a large saucepan over medium heat. Keep stirring gently until everything is smooth and melted, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Once melted, take the pan off the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 2

Pour the cornflakes into the chocolate mixture and give it a good stir, making sure all the flakes are nicely coated. Then, scoop the mixture into cupcake liners, spreading it evenly.

Step 3

Pop the cupcakes into the fridge and let them chill until they’re firm, which usually takes at least an hour. Once set, they’re ready to enjoy!

How To Enjoy This Dish

Serve these cupcakes slightly warm or at room temperature. They pair well with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot coffee. Adding a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce on top can make them even more special.

Best Storage Tips

Store the cupcakes in an airtight container to keep them fresh. They can be kept at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerated for up to a week. If refrigerated, allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
