Chocolate Corn Flakes
- 4 cups corn flakes
- 1 pound bittersweet chocolate, tempered
- Pour the corn flakes into a large mixing bowl, then pour about half of the tempered chocolate over them.
- Use a rubber spatula and mix until evenly coated.
- The tempered chocolate will immediately begin to set.
- Once the chocolate has set, repeat with the remaining chocolate to give a second coat.
- Quickly scoop small mounds of the chocolate corn flakes onto a parchment paper-covered baking sheet.
- I find it easiest to use one spoon to scoop and another spoon to scrape the scooped mixture onto the baking sheet.
- It is important to work quickly because the mixture is easier to scoop before the chocolate hardens.
- If your kitchen is very hot, you can place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Do not leave them in the refrigerator for more than 10 minutes; if they get too cold, condensation will form on them when they are removed from the refrigerator due to the difference in temperature between the cold chocolate and the warm air.
- This will cause the chocolate to turn white.
- While this doesn't affect the taste, it does ruin the appearance.
