Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (170°C). Spray a 9x13 inch baking tin with non-stick cooking spray and line it with parchment paper.
  2. Melt together the brown sugar, caster sugar, salted butter, and dark cooking chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals.
  3. Whisk in the large eggs and egg yolk, then add the sifted flour, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until glossy and thick.
  4. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared tin and spread evenly. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes until edges are set.
  5. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar until golden. Carefully add hot heavy cream and the butter, stirring until combined.
  6. Remove from heat and fold in the cornflakes, then pour over cooled brownies and spread evenly.
  7. Let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours to firm up.
  8. Slice the brownies into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
