Chocolate cornflakes are very easy to make. I usually make them for my own consumption; I consume them after lunch and dinner. I also make them as gift to relatives and friends especially those with children when I plan to visit them. Chocolate cornflakes are good snacks to be made available when relatives and friends visit us with their children. During Chinese New Year, bottles of chocolate cornflakes go into my hampers for relatives, friends and neighbours. I will make them plain if they are for my own consumption. However, if they are to be gifted, I will sprinkle them with colourful sprinklers or put a golden raisin or a white chocolate chip on each chocolate cornflake to make them look more interesting.
