English Chocolate Crisps
- 7 1/4 ounces milk chocolate, such as Perugina
- 5 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, such as Lindt or Perugina
- 3 cups cornflakes, such as Kellogg's
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- Chop the two chocolates and place 3/4 of them in a heat-proof bowl.
- Place the bowl in a microwave on high heat for 30 seconds, remove the bowl, and stir the chocolates vigorously with a wooden spoon.
- Continue heating and stirring the chocolates in 30-second intervals, switching to 15-second intervals as the chocolates start to melt, continuing to stir vigorously with a wooden spoon in between each heating.
- Heat only until the chocolates are just melted.
- Add the remaining quarter of the chocolates and stir vigorously until melted and smooth.
- (If the chocolate isn't completely melted, microwave it for another 5 or 10 seconds.)
- Place the cornflakes in a medium bowl, pour the chocolate mixture over the cornflakes, and immediately fold them together with a rubber spatula, being careful not to break up the cornflakes.
- You'll want to work quickly so the chocolate doesn't harden.
- Fold in the cranberries.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Working with 2 soup spoons, spoon 8 mounds of chocolate crisps onto the paper.
- Set aside at room temperature to cool completely until hardened.
- Peel the crisps off the paper and serve.
