Title: Cornflake treacle cakes?
Post by: kevvosa on January 30, 2006, 09:00:04 pm
Does anyone know where I can find a recipe for treacle cornflake cakes? I dont know if thats the name of them, but at school I remember they used to make these little things similar to chocolate rice crispie cakes (in bun trays) but they had a sweet treacle sort of flavour and were sticky.

They were gorgeous but Ive not had one since I was about 8!

I don't think there's exactly a recipe - I think you just melt chocolate and treacle in a pan, melt them and bung the cornflakes in!

I've think I've got a recipe - I have a 1960's book of Kellogg's recipes!  Off to work now but I'll look for it later.

OK, this is from the 'Kellogg's Sunshine Cookery' book, circa 1968!  (Interestingly Coco Pops were called Coco Krispies back then and there were cereals called Bran Buds, Sugar Smacks and Puffa Puffa Rice!


Anyway, the nearest thing I can find is 'Happies'.


1/2 cup brown sugar, 3 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, 3 cups Corn Flakes.


Combine sugar and honey in large saucepan.  Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved and mixture bubbles.  Add butter/marg and stir until dissolved, then add Corn Flakes, stirring until well coated with syrup.  Put into paper cases and leave to cool.  Makes about 14.

I would not use sugar and honey. They would be much too sweet for me.

Me too.  But it's an old recipe and I think tastes have changed.

I followed this recipe all the way up until the adding of corn flaes.ha

  I think Corn Flaes was their original name.

I remember Puffa Puffa Rice. I did not like them though.


My auntie always put hot milk on my cornflakes. In fact she put hot milk on all our cereals. It works great on Weetabix or Shreaded Wheat.

I've just had a mixed bowl of Shreddies and Cinnamon Grahams. very nice.

Oldspice, I love Shreddies. I haven't tried cinnamon grahams but I have tried golden grahams. Why are they called grahams???


This time of year I have porridge for breakfast. In the summer I have museli mixed with cornflakes.

I liked the vanilla ones!

I don't know if they are still around or not.

I didn't like the taste of BN much, I seem to remember the biscuit part was not sweet enought for me (like cream crackers) it was the filling bit that was sweet. I just liked them because they had smiley faces.
Title: Cornflake treacle cakes?
Post by: chocolate chick on February 03, 2006, 01:03:44 pm
Easily pleased

Do you like the little round biscuits with the faces on. I think they are called Funny Faces. They have got jam and cream in.



Title: Cornflake treacle cakes?
Post by: Cherry_Ripe on February 03, 2006, 01:16:47 pm
Yes, they are like jammie dodgers. There also ones where the jam is heart-shaped. I think there should be more products with smiley faces and love hearts on!
Title: Cornflake treacle cakes?
Post by: chocolate chick on February 03, 2006, 01:20:04 pm
They are yum! There should be, I agree.

They are called grahams because they are made from graham wheat.
