So your delicious Chewy Chocolate Cornflakes are ready. This is as simple as it can get. If you notice closely, the recipe is similar to all those quick and easy to make recipes that we had seen as toddlers on the back of Cornflakes Box or Chocolate Wafers as fun activities. So give a breath of life to the toddler within yourself and put this recipe to various fun experiments by adding what you think can add to the appeal of the dish.
Like for instance, instead of plain chocolate bars, you can also use Mars chocolate bars. Melt it with the other ingredients as regular and you can enjoy an added taste along with raisins, cashew, walnut along with the delicious breakfast cereal.
Also as an experiment you can add some marshmallows by breaking them into small pieces and mixing them well with the ingredients. That would give it a little gooey taste and allows you to relish the taste of chocolate in a better way when you crunch your way to sweet blissfulness.
So keep enjoying and keep creating.
