Cranberry and Chocolate Smothered Flapjacks

An indulgent treat with a soft and thick flapjack base, smothered with a thick layer of chocolate and topped with dried cranberries. Don't let the cranberries fool you - this is far from healthy but it's certainly delectable.

Ingredients

  • 250g rolled oats or porridge oats
  • 80g of soft brown sugar
  • 100g of unsalted butter
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons of golden syrup
  • 200g of quality milk chocolate
  • 50g of soft, dried cranberries

Recipe

  1. Over a low heat, melt the butter in a large saucepan.
  2. When melted, add the salt, sugar and golden syrup, stirring well

  4. Preheat the over to 220°C (gas mark 5, 430°F)
  5. Grease a baking sheet or line with greaseproof paper
  6. Pour the mixture onto the tray, level with a knife and pop into the oven for 15 minutes or when it is golden brown
  7. Take out and let it cool
  8. Bring a medium pan of water to a simmer over a gentle heat, and place another pan or shatter-proof glass bowl over it. The pan or bowl needs to be above the waterline so you may need to tip some water out
