Tips for Perfect Honey Joys

Paper Cases Are Essential: The glaze is sticky and will adhere to the pan without liners.
Don’t Skip the Sugar: It’s crucial for the glaze to set properly after baking.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain crunchiness. They can last up to one week.
No Freezing: Honey Joys don’t freeze well due to their delicate texture.
Customize with Sprinkles: Add 100s and 1000s before baking for a fun, festive touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I substitute Corn Flakes with another cereal?
Corn Flakes are the traditional choice, but if needed, you can experiment with other crisp cereals like Rice Krispies, though the texture may vary.

2. Why do I need sugar if I’m already using honey?
Sugar ensures the glaze hardens and holds the Honey Joys together after baking. Skipping or reducing it will result in a less stable treat.

3. Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! Store them in the fridge, and they’ll be ready for any occasion.

4. Do they have to be refrigerated?
Honey Joys stay crunchier when refrigerated, especially in warm climates. However, they can be stored at room temperature if the weather is cool.

Why Use Thermomix?

The Thermomix streamlines the cooking process, providing precise temperature control and efficient mixing. It’s ideal for melting the glaze evenly and coating the Corn Flakes without breaking them.

A Treat for All Ages

Whether you’re reliving childhood memories or creating new ones, Honey Joys are a delightful treat that everyone will love. Serve them alongside mini quiches, sausage rolls, or yoyos for a perfect party spread.
