Cornflake Brownies 

These Cornflake Brownies are a decadent fusion of fudgy chocolate brownie and crisp caramelized cornflake crunch—both chewy and crunchy in every bite! First, a rich brownie base delivers deep cocoa flavor and luscious texture. Then, a golden salted‑caramel cornflake topping adds irresistible sweetness and a satisfying snap. Invented by Ash Baber, this indulgent treat elevates traditional brownies with an exciting twist. It's perfect for dessert lovers craving contrast: soft and dense meets light and crispy.

Ingredients

Brownie layer

• 140 g dark chocolate
  
  

• 375 g unsalted butter
  
  

• 660 g granulated sugar
  
  

• 180 g brown sugar
  
  

• 50 g cocoa powder
  
  

• 100 g plain flour
  
  

• 5 eggs
  
  

• ¼ tsp salt
  
  

Cornflake caramel layer

• 220 g cornflakes
  
  

• 290–300 ml double cream
  
  

• ~ every half‑cup granulated sugar gradually (~396 g total)
  
  

• 150–375 g unsalted butter (depending sources; use about 150 g for topping)
  
  

• pinch of salt
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
   
   

2. Melt butter and dark chocolate together until smooth. Combine in a bowl with granulated and brown sugar.
   
   

3. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each until light and fluffy. Fold in cocoa, flour, and salt until just combined.
   
   

4. Spread batter into a lined square baking tin. Bake until a skewer in the center returns with moist crumbs (about 30–35 min). Let cool.
   
   

5. In a heavy saucepan over low‑medium heat, melt granulated sugar gradually until golden caramel forms. Remove from heat and stir in warm cream, room‑temperature butter, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
   
   

6. Add cornflakes to caramel, stirring gently to coat evenly.
   
   

7. Spread caramel‑coated cornflakes over cooled brownie layer, pressing down gently. Chill in fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
   
   

8. Slice into bars and serve chilled.
