Cornflake Crack Brittle - Extremely Addictive and Very Simpl

• total time: 14 minutes

Ingredients

3 cups cornflakes

120g salted butter, diced

½ cup soft brown sugar, firmly packed

1 tsp flaky sea salt (optional but recommended)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 180°C bake. Grease and line a small baking tray with baking paper.

Add the cornflakes to a large heat-proof bowl and set aside.

Add the butter, sugar and salt to a medium pot and place over medium heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until the butter is melted. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 2 minutes on medium heat. Remove from heat and pour the mixture immediately over the cornflakes. Toss together until well coated. Tip the mixture out onto the prepared baking tray and spread into an even layer (about 1.5cm thick).

Bake on the upper-middle oven rack for 10-12 minutes, until it is very golden brown and caramelized (keep an eye on it as it can burn easily). Set aside to cool completely, before breaking up into pieces.

OPTIONAL CHOCOLATE COATING: Dip the pieces of brittle in some melted, good-quality milk chocolate. Transfer to a lined tray or board, sprinkle over some flaky salt and set aside in the fridge to set. You will need about 500g chocolate to coat the whole quantity of brittle.
