No Bake Caramel and Sea Salt Cornflake Clusters
Delicious cornflake clusters - the perfect afternoon treat!
Ingredients
- 3 cups cornflakes any brand
- 1/3 cup light corn syrup
- ½ a bag of Kraft caramels 11 oz bag
- 4 tbs. butter
- ½ cup of Wilton dark chocolate candy melts
- coarse sea salt
- small sandwich baggie
Instructions
-
Cover 2 baking sheets with wax paper or foil.
-
In a medium saucepan melt the caramels, corn syrup and butter on low heat until melted.
-
Stir every few minutes.
-
Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the 3 cups of cornflakes.
-
Stir well to completely coat.
-
Drop by rounded tablespoon full onto wax paper or foil.
-
They will be super sticky so clump together – they will stick once they set.
-
Next, place the cookie sheets in the fridge for about 20 minutes to allow them to set.
-
Once the clusters are set, microwave the dark chocolate in a microwave safe dish in 30 second increments.
-
Stir until melted completely.
-
Let cool 1-2 minutes.
-
Spoon the melted chocolate into a sandwich baggie and snip the corner.
-
Drizzle the chocolate onto the cookies and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Once you’ve made these clusters you will be sure to keep making them again and again – these delicious little morsels are highly addictive!
