Chocolate cornflake clusters Recipe

Ask an adult to melt the shortening in a saucepan on a low heat.

Break the chocolate up into smaller pieces then ask an adult to add it to the saucepan containing the shortening (watch out – the shortening may ‘spit’).

Add the powdered sugar.

Stir with a wooden spoon until the paste is smooth.

Then add in the cornflakes. Mix well.

Next, ask an adult to take the saucepan off the heat.

Using a teaspoon, form little mounds of the mixture on a sheet of aluminum foil.

Leave to cool and wait for the mixture to harden.

You may make a ‘flower’ pattern by asking an adult to use the end of a knife to peel back the cornflake ‘petals’.
