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.
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!
