❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular cornflakes?
Regular cornflakes often contain malt extract, which is not gluten-free. Ensure you use certified gluten-free cornflakes to keep the recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
Why did my Honey Joys fall apart?
This can happen if the sugar wasn’t fully dissolved, the mixture wasn’t combined thoroughly, or they were moved before fully cooling and setting.
Can I make these in advance?
Absolutely! Honey Joys can be made a day ahead and stored as mentioned above.
