3-Ingredient Cornflake Crack Brittle

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C bake. Grease and line a small baking tray with baking paper.

2. 2

   Add the cornflakes to a large heat-proof bowl and set aside.

3. 3

   Add the butter, sugar and 1 tsp flaky sea salt to a medium pot and place over medium heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until the butter is melted. Bring to a simmer and simmer for a further 1-2 minutes on medium-low heat, until glossy and the sugar has dissolved.

4. 4

   Remove from heat and pour the mixture immediately over the cornflakes. Toss together until well coated.

5. 5

   Tip the mixture out onto the prepared baking tray and spread into an even layer (about 1.5cm thick).

6. 6

   Bake on the upper-middle oven rack for 10-15 minutes, until it is very golden brown and caramelized (it should be a dark amber colour similar to treacle but keep an eye on it as it can burn easily).

7. 7

   Set aside to cool completely, before breaking up into pieces.

8. 8

   OPTIONAL CHOCOLATE COATING: Dip the pieces of brittle in some melted, good-quality milk chocolate. Transfer to a lined tray or board, sprinkle over some flaky salt and set aside in the fridge to set.
