(AU) Party snacks made by mixing cornflakes with honey, butter and sugar and baking in patty cases.

Origin: Though it was apparently a prevalent snack in shops since the 1930s, its first definitive known mention was in a 1938 as a recipe in a newspaper. The origin of the name is unverifiable, as its creator is untraceable. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
