Notes

The recipe time includes hands on and cooking time, it does not include chilling time which can take about an hour in the fridge.  
I usually get 14 honey joys from this recipe but you could get as little as 12 or as much as 18 depending on how much or little you pile them up.
  • To make no bake honey joys spoon into cases then chill in the fridge for one hour.
  • To make gluten-free honey joys use gluten-free corn flakes.
  • To make dairy free honey joys use margarine/vegan butter.
  • To make vegan honey joys use an alternative sweetener such as golden syrup, maple syrup or rice malt syrup and margarine/vegan butter.  Use cereal that's suitable for vegans.  
Storage:
  • These honey joys will keep for up to a week in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.  They are not suitable for home freezing.
