Honey joys are a classic Australian sweet treat made with a simple combination of cornflakes, honey, butter, and sugar. These bite-sized morsels have a delightful crunchy texture and a delicious, gooey honey flavor.
In a saucepan, combine the honey, butter, and sugar over medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously until it comes to a gentle boil and the sugar has fully dissolved.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
In a large mixing bowl, gently crush the cornflakes.
Slowly pour the honey mixture over the crushed cornflakes, gently folding the ingredients together until the cornflakes are evenly coated.
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, portion the honey joy mixture into individual mounds on a baking tray lined with cupcake liners (if using).
Refrigerate the tray for at least 30 minutes to allow the honey joys to set.
Once the honey joys have set, they are ready to be served and enjoyed!
