One of Hari Raya's must-haves.. Honey Cornflakes!

Yes... The title of this post says it quite appropriately... Definitely in my list of favourite Hari Raya goodies... The recipe I used is my own modified version which requires no baking at all... Simple and easy to make!

50g butter
1 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp of honey
3 cups of cornflakes
Toppings: hundred thousands/choc rice/chopped cherries/etc...
50pcs mini papercups

1) Melt butter, sugar & honey in a frying pan under low heat until frothy...
2) Add in the cornflakes & continue to mix thoroughly under low heat..
3) Switch off the heat & quickly scoop 1tsp into each mini cups while it is still warm..
4) Top with your desired choice of toppings...
5) Let it cool for awhile to harden & voila! It's done :-)

Notice that I used a significant amount of honey... The honey makes it sticky & will harden with the sugar once it is cooled.. Hence no baking needed... And personally I think it tastes nicer when unbaked...
Happy trying!

Double Chocolate Pudding

my sweet tooth was craving for a super quick chocolate fix... and so i came across this no-brainer no-bake choc pudding in one of my recipe notes.. what i love most about it is the fact that it is unbelievebly simple & easy to make.. all you have to do is to mix all ingredients into a saucepan and just stir away.. yup, it is indeed that simple :-)

1. In a saucepan, whisk in 3/4 cup sugar, 1/3 cup sifted cocoa powder, 3 tbsp of cornstarch & 1/4 tsp salt.
2. Over medium heat, gradually whisk in 2 1/2 cups milk. Ensure there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil till it reaches a thick consistency.
3. Remove from heat. Stir in 100g grated eating chocolate & 1 1/2 tsp vanilla essence.
4. Allow to cool slightly before consumption or chill for at least 1hr for best results.

there is a point to note though.. this recipe only yields about 3-4 ramekins.. hence if you have a large family like mine or have a significant number of guests coming over, you may have to repeat the recipe a few times or increase the amount of ingredients accordingly..
