Sweeter Treat! 

Honey joys

One of the oldest party foods around. A classic baking recipe for kids!  

Ingredients

• 180g butter
• 3 tbsp blossom honey
• 300g Corn flakes

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 160 degrees, and prepare a tray with small paper casings for the cakes. 
2. Mix together 180g butter and 2 tbsp blossom honey.
3. Melt and stir on a low heat until it starts to bubble - then remove from the heat. 
4. Toss Corn Flakes into a bowl and pour the mixture over. Mix well without breaking the cornflakes. 
5. Spoon into the casings and pop in the over for 10-15 minutes, keeping an eye on them. 
6. Allow to cool and add any toppers you would like!

We recommend trying both heather and blossom - blossom for a sweeter taste, heather for something a little more sophisticated or signature blend for a bit of both. Show off your sweet treats by tagging us on @scottishbeecompany over on Instagram!
