Step-by-Step Cooking Process
Create the Ribena Syrup
In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of Ribena, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Heat the mixture on low until the sugar dissolves completely. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Prepare the Cornflake Base
In a large bowl, gently crush 2 cups of cornflakes. Pour the heated Ribena syrup over the crushed cornflakes and mix until well coated.
Bake and Set
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Spread the Ribena-coated cornflakes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow them to cool to room temperature. Set your cooking timer to ensure precise cooking.
Finish and Serve
Melt 1/2 cup of butter and drizzle over the baked cornflakes. Let the mixture cool completely until it hardens into a crunchy texture.
