There’s not really much worth saying when you’ve got double chocolate flapjacks….
maybe oooh or ahhh or mmmm….but these are more expressions than words, anyway…..
Just think about how great a flapjack is….you with me? Then add lots of chocolate….
I mean, seriously….how is adding chocolate ever not be a good idea?
I would add chocolate to my cornflakes…..oh wait I just did that. ….
425g/4 cups plus 2 Tbsp quick cooking oats (porridge oats NOT instant)
3 Tbsp good quality unsweetened cocoa powder
pinch salt
110g/1 stick butter
140g/5 oz golden syrup (or honey)
140g/5oz light brown soft sugar
140g/5oz dark (bittersweet) 70% cocoa chocolate, chopped into small pieces
• Heat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas mark 3. Line the bottom and 2 sides of a ……pan. Mix together the oats, cocoa powder and salt in a large bowl.
• In a small saucepan mix together the butter, syrup and sugar until the butter and sugar have melted. Pour over the oat mixture and mix until fully coated. Add the 2/3 of the chopped chocolate and mix to combine. Fill your pan with the mixture and gently press evenly- don’t press down too tightly. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes then remove from the oven and cut whilst still in the pan. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
• Melt your remaining chocolate ( I do this in the microwave for 1 minute then stir until smooth) and then drizzle over the top.
