If you’re craving a sweet treat that’s easy to make and absolutely delicious, look no further than chocolate flapjacks. These rich, gooey, and indulgent treats are the perfect combination of buttery oats and creamy chocolate. Whether you’re a baking pro or a total novice, you’ll love making and eating these delectable flapjacks.

To start off, gather your ingredients. You’ll need 200g of butter, 200g of brown sugar, 4 tablespoons of golden syrup, 400g of porridge oats, and 200g of chocolate. You can use any type of chocolate you like – milk, dark, or even white – depending on your preference.

First, preheat your oven to 180°C and line a square baking tin with parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove the flapjacks once they’re done.

In a saucepan, melt the butter, brown sugar, and golden syrup over low heat. Stir the mixture continuously until everything is well combined and the sugar has dissolved. Then, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the porridge oats. Make sure all the oats are evenly coated in the buttery mixture.

Next, transfer the mixture into your lined baking tin and press it down firmly with the back of a spoon. This will ensure that your flapjacks hold together nicely once they’re baked. Then, pop the tin into the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the flapjacks are a beautiful golden brown.

While the flapjacks are baking, it’s time to prepare the chocolate topping. Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt it either in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave. Once the flapjacks are out of the oven and still warm, spread the melted chocolate over the top. You can use a spatula or the back of a spoon to create a smooth and even layer of chocolate.

Now comes the hard part – waiting for the chocolate to set! Once it’s firm to the touch, cut the flapjacks into squares or rectangles, and they’re ready to enjoy.

Now that you know how to make these irresistible chocolate flapjacks, it’s time to get baking. Whether you’re treating yourself or impressing your friends and family, these flapjacks are sure to be a hit. So roll up your sleeves, preheat your oven, and get ready to enjoy the delicious combination of buttery oats and creamy chocolate. Happy baking!
