How to make the chocolate flapjack
This recipe is super easy to make. Follow the steps below or video instructions.
Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4, line the baking tin (20×20 cm) with parchment paper and set aside. Pour the butter, golden syrup, brown sugar and cocoa powder into a saucepan. Place over medium heat until everything is melted and whisk well until incorporated.
Once melted add the oats and chocolate into the mixing bowl, pour butter mixture and stir until the oats are fully coated and no longer dry. Transfer the flapjack mixture into the lined baking tin and press down with the back of the spoon or glass.
Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, the flapjacks will slightly brown on the top. Leave the chocolate flapjacks to cool completely. Melt the chocolate for topping in the microwave until melted. Pour the melted chocolate over the flapjacks and spread with an offset spatula or spoon. Place into the fridge to set for at least an hour.
Carefully cut into 12 or 16 equal squares and sprinkle with sea salt. Eat straight away or store in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
Can I substitute any ingredients?
I would recommend to stick to the recipe and the ingredients. However, you can use white or brown sugar in this recipe. Also if you prefer milk chocolate you can use it for the topping.
