Crunchy Nut Chocolate Crispies

When the hordes disappear from the house, apart from the inevitable abandoned single socks, plates and mugs in strange places and the general air of a beach after a very high tide, I am usually left with the kind of food that I don't usually eat, but can't bear to throw away!   In this case, it's Crunchy Nut cornflakes - you know, those sugar and nut soaked ones most sensible people wouldn't dream of buying.  On the other hand, my TA girlfriends will eat pretty much anything....  so Crunchy Nut Chocolate Crispies are the order of the day.  Next time I'm going to add peanuts or raisins to the mix.

2oz/50g butter

4oz/110g milk or dark chocolate

3 tbsp golden syrup

Line a tray approx 8” x 8” with baking parchment.   Melt together the first three ingredients, then add the cornflakes.   (You can usually add more than the stated amount).    Mix well to coat the cornflakes, and pour into the tray.   Chill to set the chocolate.   Cut into squares and watch them disappear.
