This is a very simple dessert. You can make it when you are in a hurry; when
you have some unexpected guests and you don't know how to do for dessert.
The name: Desert's rose comes from the famous stones that you find in the
desert (they have the same shape)! Here is the photos and the recipe.

This is the photo of the real desert's roses:

Hmmm... Interesting and certainly simple enough, and I'm sure tasty. Very
pretty, too. It's chocolate, after all! :-) I would never have thought of
using cornflakes in a dessert, but what do I know. In the US we have
"Sugar Frosted Flakes" which is cornflakes coated with sugar. These would
probably be even more crispy.

Only slightly related, there is a very old earthernware pattern made by
Fransciscan called Desert Rose. It's one of my favorite old patterns.

We make these things for children Corn flakes with melted milk
chocolate

Heaped into bun cases and allowed to set

I know one similar with fried noodles. The orange in it sounds yummy
though.

I didn't comment because I don't eat dessert so I don't pay attention to
posts about it.

Oooops I ought to have said too that they are very easy to make by children
and so are (or used to be) very popular for children's cooking sessions

Of course they are not as posh as Pandora's

Pandora I'm not familar with desert's rose so I saved the recipe to try.
I make something similar that we call mudpies. They are a favourite
no bake cookie. As soon as I get a chance I will make some and post a
pic with the recipe.

I make something similar, too...semi-sweet chocolate baking bits, a
quarter cup of Karo syrup and a spoon or two of water. Melt in
microwave & gently mix in 2-3 cups of Rice Chex. Drop by spoonfuls on
waxed paper or foil.

Mine's different as it uses cocoa, oatmeal, and coconut. Lets see how
motivated I get today. I haven't made them in awhile and DH wouldn't
mind something sweet in the house besides me

In New Zealand we make something similar called Chocolate Crackles.
It's a favourite at kids parties.

CHOCOLATE CRACKLES

250g kremelta (vegetable shortening)
4 cups rice bubbles
1 cup icing sugar
1 tbsp cocoa
1 cup coconut*

Put dry ingredients in a large bowl
Melt kremelta and pour into bowl
Mix well
Spoon into patty pans (paper cases about the size of mini muffins)
Makes 24
Set in fridge

*Note: I never use coconut when making these, and neither did my
mother. Without it, you just get more chocolate flavour.

Thank you also to you, Kathy! I love these crispy recipes, and I want to
thanks all the people who gave me other ideas.
Can I replace "Kremelta" with vegetal margarine?
Many Thanks

We use something called *Copha* instead, it's a solid white vegetable
shortening.

I don't know Pandora

Kremelta is a white vegetable shortening that is solid, quite hard, so
when the crackels set in the fridge they will be solid (but easy to
bite into). Is vegetal margarine hard? If not, I'd look for something
similar to kremelta (which is a brand name).

I just did an Internet search and Crisco vegetable shortening looks
similar. Can you buy that?

Yep, solid coconut oil. Maybe Pandora can get something like that? My
husband can eat Chocolate Crackles by the score. One is enough for me,
which is just as well with all that fat.

I have always preferred Honey Joys. Pandora - this is another cornflake
recipe for you, one from my childhood. And you would have no trouble
getting the ingredients for these. There's probably more than one version
of this recipe, but this is the one from the Kellogs website.

Honey Joys


90g butter or margarine
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon honey
4 cups Kellogg's® Corn Flakes


Preheat oven to 150°C.
Line 24 hole patty pan with paper cases.
Melt butter, sugar and honey together in a saucepan until frothy.
Add Kellogg’s® Corn Flakes and mix well.
Working quickly spoon into paper patty cases.
Bake in a slow oven 150°C for 10 minutes.
Cool.
