Crunchy Chocolate Cornflakes (No Bake Recipe)
Want to involve your kids in cooking or are looking for some activities to keep them busy then try this 2 ingredients Crunchy Chocolate Cornflakes or Chocolate Cornflakes Cakes.
They are Simple, quick, and yummy and require little or no supervision depending on age. This is my son's recipe which generally he makes with rice crisp. We did not have any rice krispie so we substituted it with cornflakes.
This recipe is also a great idea for Easter. Simple small chocolate cornflakes nest. Top it up with some edible chocolate eggs or edible bunnies.
#LittleChefs
So why am I talking about cooking with kids today? This week's 243 theme for foodiemonday is #littlechefs. Recipes which kids can cook with or without supervision. The theme was suggested by Priya who blogs at The World Through my Eyes and I am in love with her Bread Pizza with Chutney.
Activities with kids
I always say that get your kids involved in cooking. Yes it is a mess it is fussy at times, but then worth it. You create wonderful memories and also they learn a lot and something which will be used throughout their life.
I have involved my kids at a very young age. When they were babies they used to play with the dough and make small roti on their playing rolling board. This helped me to make my stuff while keeping them busy and they used to think they are helping mumma.
Like for 3-5 yr old it can be simple activities like cracking an egg, putting flour, masalas or adding any stuff in a bowl, opening packets and refilling bottles or jars, etc.
My son has been involved happily in baking with me since he was 4.5. I have a video where he was happily mixing the batter using a hand mixer, of course with supervision.
He even loves to help me in Indian cooking and can shape and make dosa (pic on Instagram), make roti, and even snacks like matri. He has even cooked roti 3-4 times and once he wanted to fry at the age of 8. I was very apprehensive for this, but helped him with 1 batch with supervision.
So enough of bragging about my son and lets come to the point. When I told this to my so about the theme he first wanted to make a cake and then he shifted to cookies. We were about to start but then suddenly he remembered this chocolate crisp.
I was happy as that was way quicker, plus the younger one wanted to help his brother too. So something which both can do without any fights or complaints.
Recipes which my son made and are on my blog
I have a few recipes where it was made by my son from scratch with little supervision. These Chocolate Chip Cookies and Eggless Whole Wheat Chocolate Cupcakes. He also bakes his Double Chocolate Whole Wheat Banana Cake.
Today's Recipe
So today's recipe for Crunchy Chocolate Cornflakes is quite simple. All you have to do is melt chocolate and add lightly crushed cornflakes. Mix everything and let it set. That's it. One can add butter and sweetener to this recipe, I have not added them as I wanted to use 100 percent of my son's recipe. Also, we have used milk chocolate here which has some portion of sugar so sugar is not required.
Here is the recipe for Crunchy Chocolate Cornflakes:
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Cornflakes - Approximately 100 grams
- 140 grams Milk Chocolate - Approximately ½ Cup when melted
- Colourful Chocolate Sprinklers (Just for garnish and optional)
Preparation
- Arrange cupcake molds with cupcake liners.
- In a bowl add the Cornflakes. Lightly crush it with your hand. (One can use as is also)
- Cut the chocolate in small pieces. Melt it in a microwave or a double boiler.
- Once the chocolate is melted, add in the crushed cornflakes.
- Mix everything nicely.
- Take 1-2 spoons of mixture and add in individual cupcake liners.
- If you are adding Chocolate sprinklers add it now.
- Let it set for 20-30 minutes. If you have a warm climate, let it sit in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Store it in an airtight container, If warm store that in the fridge.
- Enjoy.
Notes
- 1 Cup = 235 ml
- Dark or milk chocolate can be used.
- Use a good quality chocolate.
- Instead of Cornflakes Rice Krispies can be used.

Renu my kids use to help in cooking when they were young and now when they send me photos of what they make, I feel so proud. Cereal with melted chocolate was one of the treats we would make for their birthday parties..totally forgot about this recipe till I came across yours. We used Rice Krispies sometimes. Now no kids at home, but may just make it for us adults to enjoy 🙂
It really matters when they grow up. So helpful. Thank You
With the crunch of cornflakes and the decadent taste of chocolate, what's to not love in this recipe? It's a no-cook recipe to boot, and kids can easily make this on their own. I'd definitely love to try this out with the bub. 🙂
Thank You

Thank You
One more bookmarked recipe for me....you are amazing renu with ur recipes...bingo
how do you keep them crispy/crunchy? mine became really hard and soggy 🙁
Hi, I did not get it. How can it be hard and soggy at the same time?
These were great. The chocolate seemed like too much to me, so I added more crushed cornflakes, flaked almonds, cranberries and chopped pistachios. Still chocolate was the most overpowering flavour. Kinda like eating crunchy chocolate which is fine I just wanted to taste other ingredients but couldn’t. I’ll try and use less chocolate next time and see. I know the chocolate is what holds it together so my experiment may need to be eaten with a spoon until I tween it just right for me. Hehe thank you! Love the simplicity and kids loved!
Ideally the chocolate is not much, but if you do not like it then it may be. Kids love it. Yes chocolate holds it all together if you want you can replace it with oil or like chia seed eggs, which might hold it all together. Thank you for leaving a feedback and rating.
