Serves: 20
Ingredients
- 2½ cups (185g) of crushed cornflakes
- ¾ cup (135g) of sultanas
- ½ cup (95g) of chopped glace cherries
- ⅔ cup (230g) of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 heaped cup (200g) of dark or milk chocolate melts
Instructions
- Line a 23 cm (9 inch) square baking tin* with baking paper and preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
- Combine the cornflakes, sultanas, cherries, and sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl and mix well.
- Press the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 20 minutes.
- Allow to cool completely in the tin before removing and cutting into squares.
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
- Spread melted chocolate over the underside of the squares (for this step I dip each square into the melted chocolate and then spread it with a flat butter knife).
- To decorate the underside of each square use the tines of a fork to make a swirling pattern in the chocolate before it sets (optional).
Notes
* I have also made these squares in a 20cm x 30cm (8 x 12 inch) rectangular slice tin.
