This month's Treat Petite Challenge has the theme of 'Childhood Memories'. I had a very happy childhood and I have lots of wonderful memories so it was difficult to pick something that encapsulates it in a bake. It's quite a broad theme and it will be interesting to see what everyone else comes up with.
I was looking for something the other day and I found an old notebook of mine which contains recipes that my mum has passed on to me. I've not seen this book in years so it was good fun looking through it and seeing old recipes that I've not made in recent times. This cornflake chocolate chip bites is one of them and it's something that my mum used to make a lot for us. It's really quick and easy to make and it's highly addictive. I honestly could have eaten the whole lot myself but I didnt!
As mentioned I'm sending this to Treat Petite hosted by Stuart from Cakeyboi and Kat from the Baking Explorer. The theme this month is Childhood Memories.

ReplyDeleteThey brought back lots of good memories :)
DeleteLove the idea of the chocolate chips rather than melted chocolate. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThanks! You can also add sprinkles for some fun and colour :)
DeleteThe oldies are the goodies aren't they? I think a version of this was the very first bake I made
ReplyDeleteoldies are definitely goodies :)
DeleteOoo never had these before, they are like an upgrade on cornflake cakes!
ReplyDeleteYes and once you start you just can't stop!
DeleteThis recipe certainly sums up childhood baking to me. And I challenge any one not to be tempted by a cornflake crispy cake! Thanks so much for linking your recipe up to June's Family Foodies.
