Quick and easy to make. I love a good no bake dessert during the hectic holiday season, and this might be the easiest one. The process has a few easy steps, and these chocolate cornflake cookies take less than 10 minutes to prepare!
Instant family favorite. Not only will your family love eating these, but they're super fun to make together, too!

Ingredients Needed
- Chocolate- I like to use dark chocolate, but semi-sweet, milk, or even white chocolate works great! Baking chocolate or chocolate chips works best.
- Butter- I prefer unsalted butter.
- Honey- any honey you have on hand is great.
- Cornflakes- the best cereal to give this treat that addictive crunch.
How To Make Cornflake Cookies
1. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with muffin paper liners. Then add the chocolate of your choice, butter, and honey to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate mixture in 45-second intervals, stirring well after each one until the ingredients are smooth and combined. Let it cool for a few minutes.
2. Add the cornflakes to a large bowl and pour the melted chocolate mixture on top. Gently stir the cornflakes around the bowl with a rubber spatula until they're completely coated in the chocolate.
3. Use a large spoon or tablespoon to scoop the chocolate cornflakes into the muffin liners. You'll want to fill them all the way to the top. Refrigerate them for about 1 hour or until the chocolate hardens and they set. Then dig in and enjoy!
Tips To Make The Best Chocolate Covered Cornflakes Recipe
- If you don't want to use the microwave, you can melt the chocolate over a double boiler or in a heat-proof bowl over a pot with simmering water. Once the chocolate is melted, remove it from the heat and add to the cereal.
- Don't forget to stir the chocolate while melting so it doesn't burn!
- Make sure to let the chocolate cool for a minute or so after melting, or it will make the cereal soggy.
- If you don't have a muffin pan, you can make these chocolate cornflake bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use an ice cream scoop or tablespoon to form the cookies into a round shape.
Storage Instructions
The best part about these chocolate cornflake clusters might be how well they keep. So this is a super convenient dessert to make ahead of time if you're hosting or need something to bring over to a friend's house!
You can store the cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Whenever you're ready to enjoy, either eat chilled or at room temperature.
