Honey Joys in Christmas themed paper cases on a wire cooling rack.

It’s a while since I have eaten honey joys; they used to be one of my favourite snacks as a kid! We didn’t have them all the time, but at birthday’s and school fetes they always made an appearance. Honey joys are a delicious sweet, crunchy treat and they are also quick and easy to make.

Regular honey joys are made with plain Cornflakes but I decided to use Crunchy Nut Cornflakes just to give them a subtle twist.

Several honey joys in paper cases topped with red and green M&M's.

Traditionally honey joys don’t have any chocolate in them either. But I wanted to make mine look bright and Christmassy so I added some red and green M&M’s. I think the addition of M&M’s makes them even better!

These literally come together in just a few minutes but they are best eaten cold. That means you will have to wait a little while to enjoy them. Don’t get me wrong, you can eat them warm (and they’re delicious!) they just might be a bit crumbly until they set properly.

Three rows of honey joys lined up on a wire cooling rack.

Once cold these are a crunchy and sweet snack with a little burst of chocolate in every bite!

Description

Once cold these Crunchy Nut Honey Joys are a crunchy and sweet snack with a little burst of chocolate in every bite!


Ingredients

  • 90g of butter
  • 1/3 cup (80g) of sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • 4 cups of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes
  • 1/2 cup of M&M’s (I used red and green)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 150 °C (300 °F) and line two cupcake tins (12 hole) with cupcake liners.
  2. Place butter, sugar, and honey into a large saucepan and stir over a low heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture starts to look frothy.
  3. Add the Crunchy Nut Cornflakes and mix well.
  4. Spoon into the prepared cupcake liners and then press 4 or 5 M&M’s into the top of each honey joy.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes.
  6. Allow to cool completely before serving.

Notes

These are also very good without the M&M’s and you can use plain Cornflakes if you prefer.
