Cornflake Squares

Keeping it simple... and quite frankly what to do with a large box of cornflakes that everyone has grown tired of. I think I prefer these over rice krispie treats. They have almonds, coconut, dried fruit, and cereal all mashed about in marshmallowy gooeyness with a touch of chocolate on top.    

Cornflake Squares

------------------------------------------------------

1/2 cup of butter

1 package (400g) of mini marshmallows

1 cup sliced almonds

1 cup flaked coconut

1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped

4 cups cornflake cereal

good quality chocolate, melted for drizzling over the top

9x13 inch pan buttered and lined with baking parchment paper.

Place the butter into a large saucepan and gently melt over medium heat. Stirring occasionally, add the marshmallows; allowing to melt and combine with the butter. Add the sliced almonds, flaked coconut and chopped cranberries, stirring to combine then add the cornflakes, stirring once again until nicely coated. Press into the prepared 9x13 inch pan and allow to set for about 1/2 an hour. 

When set, melt the dark chocolate and drizzle over the top. Allowing the chocolate to cool and set then cut into squares. 

Notes: You can toast the sliced almonds and coconut if you like. 

Hope everyone is having a great week. A bit on the chilly side here. - JD
