Christmas Cornflake Cakes

Cornflake cakes are a far better no-cook cake than crispie cakes, the crunch is much better and they don't fall apart so easily! We decided to make some the other day but jazzed them up a little bit especially for Christmas.

You'll need:

• cornflakes
• chocolate
• golden syrup
• raisins

1. Melt the chocolate in a bain marie (or bowl over hot water).
2. Remove from the heat and pour into a large bowl coating the cornflakes and not leaving any residual chocolate in the base. If there's too much chocolate, add some more cornflakes.
3. Squeeze in some golden syrup, this helps to bind the cake together and give a smoother texture. Stir in the raisins.
4. Scoop into cupcake cases and leave to set.
5. Once set, we sprayed ours with edible gold spray paint and sprinkled on multi-coloured candy buttons to resemble bauble.
