Cornch Flakes
I came up with Cornch Flakes while revising my Cerealously Cornchy Cookies. I needed to season the cereal and add extra crunch. These aren’t just sugar-coated flakes—they’re toasted and glazed, giving them a sweetened popcorn quality. They’re perfect for cookies, but also great sprinkled over ice cream or eaten as a snack. In fact, snacking is their primary purpose—I couldn’t stop eating them straight out of the oven.
