Cornflake Brownies!

 Jane Dunn has written a new book! 

Okay, so Jane actually published this book a while back now, but I'm only just getting round to writing about my first bake from the book, so go with me on this! 

After perusing the new book, I came across the Cornflake Brownies, and knew instantly that this was the bake to start with, taking a batch of brownies to the next level! 

The first thing to do to get started on these brownies... was to prepare the brownies! To make the brownie batter, butter and dark chocolate are melted together in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water, whilst in a separate bowl eggs and caster sugar are whisked together until the mixture has doubled in volume and is mousse-like. The chocolate mixture is then carefully folded into the egg mixture, before flour, cocoa powder and chocolate chips are also folded in. The batter is then baked until the brownies still have a slight wobble and then left to cool. 

So fudgey! 

With the brownies cooling, the last step was to make the cornflakes layer, by simply melting together butter, golden syrup, and milk chocolate, before adding the cornflakes and pouring the mixture over the brownies! The whole thing is then placed into the fridge to set the top layer. Putting them in the fridge also helps to set the brownies, which I deliberately under baked so they would turn out even more fudgy! 

And that's it! No fancy decoration for these, just a layer of brownies and a layer of the oh-so-classic cornflake cake! These went down insanely well, and it's safe to say Jane's new book is a hit in this house!
