Mini Chocolate Cornflakes Cups - Gong Xi Gong Xi

It is still the Chinese New Year festive season and I have already been to a few rounds of house visiting. The good thing about CNY is that we have "valid reasons" to binge on sinful snacks like Bah Kwa, Peanut Cookies, Pineapple Tarts, Kuih Bankit, Love Letters and so much more. This is especially enjoyable when some friends and relatives actually made the CNY goodies themselves. Many of these are not available for purchase off supermarket shelves and bakeries. 

Cheers to my good fortune, there were lots of homemade CNY goodies at V.bro and Uncle Niu's house! I ate to my fill and am down with sore throat and cold now. :[ Well I guess certain professions will be super busy during this period of time due to greedy people like me. Anyway, V.bro's mum doesn't have detailed information on how to make her snacks so I'll be introducing  one of Uncle Niu's goodies; Chocolate Cornflakes Balls. It is simple to make, tastes really yummy, and appeals to kids too! Happy CNY to all!
