They are made by mixing corn flakes with honey, butter and sugar and baking in patty cases or muffin cups. A popular treat in the UK is chocolate corn flake cakes, made with corn flakes, dark chocolate, golden syrup and butter. In New Zealand, corn flakes are a core ingredient in Afghan biscuits, a chocolate biscuit made with corn flakes and topped with chocolate icing.

Crushed cornflakes are classic breading material, but any grain-based, not-too-sweet cereal works great as a stand-in for traditional breadcrumbs. Corn or rice Chex, Wheaties, and even savory granola and oat-based cereals would make a great crust for your chicken breast or fish filets.
