Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 160Âșc and line a 9x9 inch (22cm) square tin.
- Weigh the butter, golden syrup and brown sugar into a saucepan. Place over medium heat until everything is melted and whisk well to make sure the butter and melted sugar all well incorporated.
- Measure the oats into a bowl and add in both packets of chocolate chips. Pour the butter syrup mixture over the oats and mix well. The warm syrup will start to melt some of the chocolate chips as you mix. This is perfect and ensures that once the flapjacks are baked every bite will have buttery oats and chocolate.
- Once the oats are completely covered in the buttery syrup (they'll all have a "wet" look to them) press into a square lined baking tin. Bake the flapjacks in a square tin lined with baking paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes. Remove the flapjacks from the oven and leave them to cool completely in the tin. If they're too warm when you cut them they'll break apart and won't cut into squares.
- For making the glaze
- Simply break the bar into pieces and place in a bowl. Add in a tablespoon of butter and melt in the microwave (be careful not to burn the chocolate) for about 2 minutes. Use a spoon to drizzle the flapjacks with the chocolate, or pour the glaze over the flapjacks and smooth evenly over the top to cover completely. Let the chocolate cool completely on the flapjack before you slice into squares. You can pop them into the fridge for a couple of hours or into the freezer for about 15 minutes to let the chocolate topping set.

CHEWY CHOCOLATE FLAPJACK
Steps:
- 1. Melt the butter in a large non stick saucepan over a very low heat. Add sugar and sirup and mix well. 2. Stir in the oats, add the banana and the pinch of salt. 3. Spread the mixture over a sheet of baking paper in a baking tray and press flat. Place in the oven and cook for 15 min at 220 degrees or until it turns golden brown. Leave it to cool. 4. In the meantime, prepare the melted chocolate in a pan by adding chocolate chunks and milk on low temperature. Dip Half of your flapjacks in chocolate and sprinkle the crushed nuts over it, so that you can still hold it without touching the chocolate (see top picture). Place in the fridge for an hour or to allow for the chocolate to set hard. Store in a air tight box in the fridge for up to a week and bring half of it to your work colleagues. For an even healthier version, you an replace part of the butter with margarine! For more easy step by step recipes, visit www.feelingnibblish.com
Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the flapjacks will taste. Look for a chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%).
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the flapjacks tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Press the flapjacks firmly into the pan. This will help them to hold together.
- Bake the flapjacks until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the flapjacks cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to keep their shape.
