Honey and milk chocolate bars

These honey and milk chocolate bars are loaded with cornflakes, melted chocolate and honey and coconut. They are perfect for parties or a weekend treat!

The Happy Egg Company very kindly sent me an Easter gift – a signed copy of Eric Lanard’s “Totally Chocolate.”

I received an email while I was at work telling me to expect the book to arrive very soon, so when I got home that evening I was delighted to see that it had already been delivered!  So I just want to say a big thank you to the Happy Egg team!

This book is basically a chocolate lovers dream come true. It contains  good old fashioned home baking like chocolate and vanilla marble cake, chocolate brownies and shortbread and you also have show stopping desserts such as apricot and chocolate Charlotte and chocolate and chestnut truffle cakes.

I decided to make these easy honey and milk chocolate bars first. They are very similar to a traybake my Gran used to make with coconut and cornflakes.

I loved it and these bars brought back fond memories for me. Isn’t it great how food can transport you back to a certain time and place?

Eric’s recipe called for rice crispies, but I didn’t have any so I used cornflakes, just like my Gran did. Everyone was a huge fan of these easy no bake bars.

They are a mixture of crunchy, gooey, sweet – and yes, they are very sweet but if you take one look at the ingredients you don’t need me to tell you that!

Recipe adapted from Eric Lanard’s “Totally Chocolate”

200g milk chocolate, chopped plus an extra 25g for the topping
40g butter
2 tbsp clear honey
2 tbsp condensed milk
75g cornflakes, lightly crushed

In a medium sized saucepan, melt the milk chocolate, butter, honey and condensed milk over a low heat. Take off the heat and stir in the cornflakes and coconut. Pour into the lined tin and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl placed over a pan of simmering water. Once melted and smooth, leave to cool for a few minutes then pour over the chilled base. Place in the fridge again to allow the chocolate to firm up, at least 30 minutes – 1 hour.

Melt the remaining 25g milk chocolate, then drizzle over the white chocolate. Leave to set at room temperature. Cut into bars.
