Corn Flakes chocolate clusters super yummy super easy recipe

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

Leg is doing better, definitely recovering, but this is a long haul. I have begun “walking”, as in limping around the house. Trying not to use the crutches, that’s learning to walk in a way that seems unnecessary. I just need to trust my doc that says that I can put my weight on my foot!

Meanwhile, in between working on the jewelry collection and learning to walk I have a bit of time to try interesting and easy recipes. Here’s a good one. Watch out - it’s addictive!

Before I start you should know that I am a winger when it comes to cooking and baking. I really wing it. I change this, that, add a bit of this, that and the other thing, and somehow it all woks out. Point being, the quantities are approximate, so feel free to wing it too.

Corn Flakes chocolate clusters

Ingredients:
6 cups corn flakes
1 pack unsweetened chocolate (I used Bakers 8 oz pack from Safeway)
1 bag butterscotch morsels ( about 11 oz)
1/2 cup peanut butter (or more, if you want a strong peanuty flavor)
2 TBSP Agave Nectar (optional, you can also use a bit of sugar but you might not need it. Try and see)

What to do:
in a very large microwave safe bowl put the chocolate, the butterscotch morsels and heat in the microwave for a min. Take out, add the peanut butter, stir with a spoon and heat again for a min, then take out and stir with a spoon. Keep doing this until it’s all melted and nicely mixed together. DON’T leave it in for more than a minute at a time! It could burn your chocolate!

Once all melted mix in the Agave Nectar and then corn flakes. Try to do this fairly quickly because the chocolate gets hard. No need to rush like crazy, but don’t go watching your favorite TV show in between either.

On an oiled cookie sheet (you can also used wax paper on a cookie sheet) spoon clusters of the corn flakes mix at a size that you want. Last time I made my clusters too big. I think that one spoon full per cluster is a good size, because the chocolate gets very hard once in the fridge.

That’s it. Put in the fridge, wait half an hour and YUM! How’s that for easy?

Variations:
Add coconut flakes, almonds, walnut pieces…. Raisins or other dried fruits… Use you imagination… Let me know if you come up with a really good combo!
