Notes

Don't cut down on the amount of chocolate used, it's important to keep the ratio cornflake to melted chocolate, otherwise the squares won't set well and they will be crumbly and hard to slice.
You can either freeze the cornflake mixture if you want to serve these treats quickly - it shoudn't need more than half an hour in the freezer, or you can refrigerate it for at least 1 hour, ideally longer.
Keep the cornflake bars in the fridge if you are not going to consume them quickly, a warm room will make the chocolate melt and the squares will be quite messy.
An easy way of slicing the mini Cadbury creme eggs is to freeze them for at least 30 minutes. Use a sharp knife to slice them in the middle vertically, you will get 2 perfect halves that are not messy at all!
