Butter - You can use either salted or unsalted butter for this recipe. It will work either way. Sugar - The sugar that is called for in this recipe makes up a component of the glaze that is responsible for keeping the Honey Joys in one piece once they have been baked. Do not give in to the urge to lessen or eliminate it. Honey: Because the honey will impart its flavor as well as its sweetness, select a type of honey whose flavor you particularly enjoy. Honey will also make the dish sweeter.   Corn Flakes - These are an essential ingredient in Honey Joys, so if you have dietary restrictions to consider in regard to corn, my Chocolate Crackles would be a better option for you to consider eating instead of Honey Joys. It is imperative to the success of the Honey Joys that the muffin tins be prepared by lining them with paper cases or liners. The glaze is extremely sticky, and regardless of how well you grease the muffin tins, the cupcakes will still stick to the tins if the mixture is not placed inside of a paper case. Before you put the Honey Joys in the oven, you have the option of adding some 100s and 1000s (also known as sprinkles). Honey Joys are best kept in the refrigerator to maintain their shape and crunch, but if you live in an area with consistently cool temperatures, you can keep them at room temperature. Honey Joys should not be stored in the freezer.
