chocolate cornflakes cookies

*back dated entry*

i believed this snack is no stranger to most people & it's super easy to prepare which makes it a popular snack during chinese new year =)

ingredients (makes ~40 cookies):
dark chocolate 200g
cornflakes    2cups
unsalted butter   50g
nuts/sprinkles   optional

directions:

Step 1: melt chocolate & butter over double boiler (pot of hot water).... although i read on some sites that it doesnt matter if the water touches bottom of your bowl, i prefer not to = just let the steam melt your chocolate.... here i used dark chocolate cause i dont want the snacks to be too sweet... i have also added some butter to reduce the viscosity so that it will be easier to mix....

melting chocolate & butter

Step2: after the chocolate + butter mixture has melted... let it cool down slightly before adding cornflakes...

mixing in cornflakes

Step3: scoop the chocolate cornflakes into paper holder.... i used the 2cm diameter holder which allows me to make ~40 cookies.... you can top it up with some sprinkles or chopped nuts... finally put the cookies in fridge for about 30min & you can enjoy =)
