My Mum's Chocky Rocks Biscuits Recipe

Well actually it's an old recipe (probably from the 1970's) from the back of a Kellogg's® Corn Flakes packet (don't tell anyone) but it's a favourite amongst my family and friends.  This recipe makes about 50 biscuits.


Ingredients
250gms Butter
1 cup Castor Sugar
2 eggs
2 cups SR Flour
1/2 cup Sultanas
2 cups Corn Flakes
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
100gms Choc Bits
Extra Corn Flakes to roll biscuits in (the actual recipe says another 2 cups to roll in but Mum says it's a bit more than that)


Method
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs one at a time and beat well.  Add vanilla and blend.  Fold through sifted flour.  Add choc bits, sultanas and corn flakes.  Then form into walnut sized balls and roll in remaining corn flakes.  Bake on a greased oven tray in a moderate oven at 180°C for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown.  Cool on racks and store in an air tight container.

  6. This is the recipe Great Nan used. So glad you posted it.
    We made it with cranberries & dried apricots instead of sultanas, & white chocolate instead of milk chocolate They were so good.
