Add the cornflakes to a large mixing bowl and set aside.

Pour the melted chocolate over the cornflakes and quickly stir until the cornflakes are fully coated.
Sprinkle powdered sugar over the cornflakes and stir until coated. Start with 2 tablespoons and taste then add more if needed. The cakes will get sweeter the more you add.

Sprinkle each one with flakey sea salt and let them set for around 15 minutes, or until fully set and not crumbly.
