Cornflake Squares (Half Chocolate, Half Plain)

These Cornflake Squares are everything you want in a no-bake treat: chocolatey with that perfect crunch in every bite.

Made with our Organic Cacao Powder for that deep, smooth chocolate flavour, it's the kind of simple recipe that really shows the difference good ingredients make.

INGREDIENTS

  • 70g butter or margarine
  • 280g marshmallows, for melting
  • 2 tbsp Food Thoughts Cacao Powder
  • 160g cornflakes
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 bag Food Thoughts 70% Dark Chocolate Chips, for melting
  • Flaky sea salt, to finish

EQUIPMENT

  • 8x8-inch baking tin

METHOD

  1. Line an 8x8-inch baking tin with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, gently melt the butter and marshmallows together, stirring continuously until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly between two bowls. In one bowl, stir through the Food Thoughts Cacao Powder until smooth to create the chocolate version, leaving the other half plain.
  4. Divide the cornflakes evenly between both bowls and fold through until mostly coated. Stir in the mini marshmallows and mix until evenly combined.
  5. Spoon both mixtures into the lined tin, filling one half with the chocolate mixture and the other with the plain mixture. Press down firmly into an even layer, making sure to reach the edges.
  6. Leave to cool, or place in the fridge to speed up the process.
  7. Once cooled, melt the Food Thoughts 70% Dark Chocolate Chips and spread evenly over the top.
  8. Return to the fridge until fully set.
  9. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, slice into bars and serve.

Brownie & Chocolate Strawberry Skewers

If you're heading out for a picnic this week, skip the supermarket dessert aisle and make these instead. If you're in charge of bringing something sweet, these brownie, marshmallow and chocolate strawberry skewers are guaranteed to disappear quickly. Made with fudgy homemade brownies, marshmallows, and strawberries dipped in our 70% Dark Chocolate Chips, they're easy to make, easy to share, and a lot more fun than your average picnic dessert.

No-Bake Date Granola Bars

If you love dates, you need to try these no-bake date granola bars. Chewy, chocolatey, and the kind of snack that mysteriously disappears. A drizzle of melted 70% dark chocolate chips is the perfect finishing touch — and it's worth using the good stuff! Choosing good dark chocolate is basically a label-reading game. Aim for 70% or above, and if the ingredients list reads like an essay, put it back. Bonus points if it's made from single-origin Fino de Aroma beans, which are carefully selected from the world's top 8% quality cocoa, and that is exactly what we use in our Dark Chocolate Chips. Deep, rich flavour without any unnecessary add-ons.

Healthier Chickpea Brownies

These healthier cacao chickpea brownies are rich, fudgy and satisfying, thanks to a blend of protein-packed chickpeas and Food Thoughts Organic Cacao Powder.  Chickpeas add natural fibre and texture, while cacao brings that deep chocolate flavour we all want and a little extra goodness along for the ride. Cacao is naturally rich in antioxidants and minerals like magnesium and iron, which is why it's often called a superfood. It's an easy way to add more depth (and benefits) to everyday bakes, without changing how you bake or sacrificing flavour.
