Crunchy Crossies

Make sure the bowl does not touch the water; this allows the chocolate to melt especially gently.

Be careful that no water or steam gets into the chocolate, otherwise it can seize and become lumpy.

Fold the cornflakes in only briefly to keep them as crispy as possible.

Dip the tip of the spoon briefly in warm water and dry it — this makes it easier to scrape off the mixture.

In the refrigerator they firm up faster; at room temperature they often remain slightly softer in bite.
