A delicious no-bake Easter Cornflake Crunch dessert made with cornflakes, chocolate and peanut butter and topped with Mini Eggs and Smartie Eggs!
Not all kids are fans of hot cross buns or Easter biscuits so I like to try and make something a little bit different each year.
I usually make Rice Krispie nests but I had run out of both Rice Krispies and cupcake cases this year.
So instead improvised with what ingredients I had and came up with this Easter Cornflake Crunch!
This is a really easy dessert to make. It’s a no bake recipe, so it really is a great way to get the kids involved in helping in the kitchen over the holidays.
It’s not just for kids though! I’ve served this to both adults and kids alike and everyone loves it!
Crunchy cornflakes, chocolate and little tiny Easter Eggs. A real Easter Treat in my book!
Ingredients List
- Chocolate
- Peanut Butter
- Honey
- Butter
- Cornflakes
- Cadbury’s Mini Eggs
- Smarties Mini Eggs
For a full list of ingredients and their amounts, check out the recipe card at the bottom, but I’ve only used basic ingredients so no searching round for lots of complicated or hard to get ingredients.
And you don’t have to serve this as a dessert either. It goes perfectly with a cuppa for when that sweet craving hits!
Ingredient Substitutions
The base of the dessert is made by melting chocolate with peanut butter, honey and butter and then mixing it with cornflakes.
I used milk chocolate which made it super sweet but you can also use dark chocolate, white chocolate or even a mixture of both.
For the toppings I used both Mini Eggs and Smartie Eggs. Some crushed and some whole, and then finished it off with some pastel sprinkles.
If you can’t get these specific eggs, then any mini chocolate eggs would work just as well. Feel free to get creative!
For the full recipe have a look at the video below and I also have the instructions written out at the bottom of the post.
