Description

Addictive Cornflake Crack with Chocolate and Sea Salt is a sweet and crunchy treat combining golden cornflakes coated in a rich caramel, topped with melted chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt. This easy no-bake recipe creates a perfect balance of salty and sweet flavors, ideal for snacking or gifting.

Ingredients

Caramel Base

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 cups cornflakes

Topping

  • 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the caramel: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the light brown sugar, light corn syrup, and salt, stirring continuously until the mixture comes to a boil. Allow it to boil without stirring for 3 minutes to reach a caramel consistency.
  2. Combine with cornflakes: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately pour the caramel sauce over the cornflakes in a large mixing bowl. Gently fold the mixture to ensure the cornflakes are evenly coated with caramel.
  3. Spread and cool: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Spread the caramel-coated cornflakes evenly on the sheet, pressing lightly to form an even layer. Let it cool completely at room temperature until firm, about 1 hour.
  4. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the semisweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
  5. Top with chocolate and sea salt: Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the cooled caramel cornflake layer, spreading with a spatula if needed. Immediately sprinkle sea salt flakes evenly on top before the chocolate sets.
  6. Set and break: Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until firm. Break or cut the cornflake crack into bite-sized pieces and serve or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use a silicone mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • Adjust sea salt amount based on your preference for saltiness.
  • For a nuttier variation, sprinkle chopped nuts on the chocolate layer before it sets.
  • Make sure caramel is hot when mixing with cornflakes for even coating.
