Introduction
Not a diet food! I make these once a year for Son to take to school to share with classmates on his name day (a Greek custom). The classic recipe is with corn flakes but you can vary the cereal to just about any kiddie-favourite crunchy cereal, e.g. today I'm making these with Froot Loops, or even combine several different cereals. You will have to adjust quantity of cereal and calorie count accordingly. Not a diet food!

Ingredients
-
250g unsalted butter
200g sugar
125g honey
c12 cups corn flakes or other crunchy cereal
hundreds and thousands or sprinkles
60 cup cake cases
Directions
Preheat oven to 160 oC.
LIne muffin tins with pretty paper cases.
Melt butter over low heat in your largest saucepan.
Add sugar and stir occasionally until sugar has dissolved.
Add honey and continue heting gently until it all begins to bubble. Turn off heat but leave the saucepan on the hob.
In several batches add a total of approximately 12 cups of crunchy cereal. Mix each batch thoroughly but gently so you don't crush the cereal. If too much syrup remains visible you may need to add a little more cereal.
Spoon mixture into paper cases--no need to allow room for rising as with muffins, these do not rise. Decorate with hundreds and thousands or sprinkles.
Bake 10'. They will be soft when warm, so remove gently onto wire racks to cool (don't just tip out onto the rack). Leave to cool completely, they will then become hard and crunchy. Store in air-tight containers.
