Melt the chocolate, syrup, honey and butter, stirring occasionally.
Tip the cornflakes and nuts into a bowl, pour over the melted chocolate mixture and mix.

Spoon into a prepared 9 inch spring form tin, pressing down well and easing the mixture up the sides to make a shell for the fruit and cream.

Take the case out of the tin, tip in half the strawberries and spoon the cream on top.
