Servings: 12 Squares
You Will Need:
Flapjack
250g Porridge Oats
125g Butter (Vegan butter would work too!)
125g of Brown Sugar (light)
2-3tbps of Golden Syrup
Topping
250g of Chocolate (Dark, Milk, White any will work)
A tin of Caramel
Hundreds and Thousands
Method:
- Pre-heat oven to 180c.
- Using a ceramic pan (any pan will do a but a ceramic one will be less likely to stick!) heat together the butter, sugar and golden syrup until it has all melted together. Try not to bio it, slow and steady with this!
- In a separate heat proof bowl weigh out 250g of your Porridge Oats. At this stage add any extra ingredients you want to add such as chocolate chips (if adding chocolate remember it WILL melt!), any spices such as cinnamon or ginger, coconut would work nicely too. Mix together to ensure they're all combined.
- When your butter, sugar and syrup mixture is fully melted pour half of the mixture into the oats and mix well. Then add the second half. This will need a really good mix to make sure the oats soak u the liquids.
- Line a square baking tin and pour in the flapjack mixture. Pressing it down as you go to make a firm flapjack which wont fall apart once it's cooked.
- Bake until golden brown, this will take around 20 minutes.
- Take the flapjack out of the oven and leave to cool. Do not remove the flapjack before it is fully cooled. It'll just fall apart.
- Pour the tin of caramel into a small sauce pan and heat gently until runny and smooth. Once this has become thinner pour on top of the flapjack and spread to the edged ensuring the flapjack is fully covered and pop in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate in a heat proof bowl over a pan of slightly simmering water. Once the chocolate is fully melted. Pour of top of the caramel layer, throw some hundreds and thousands at it because it looks pretty and leave to set at room temperature. If you put it in the fridge you'll get a grey mottled effect on your chocolate.
- When the chocolate it half set score out your pieces. This will just make it easier to slice later on. Once fully set and hard, slice into 12 even squares. Then eat! Again sharing is always optional ;)
