Recipe tips / Prepare ahead

You will need a 20cm (8 inch) shallow square loose-bottomed tin, greased and lined with parchment paper for this recipe.

Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180C/160 Fan/Gas 4.

Step 2

For the flapjacks, combine the butter, Tate & Lyle Light Soft Brown Sugar and Lyle's Golden Syrup in a large non-stick saucepan and heat gently until melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the oats and salt.

Step 3

Spoon the mixture into the tin, level and press firmly with a palette knife to smooth. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden.

Step 4

Make the topping by combining the cream and Tate & Lyle Light Soft Brown Sugar in a saucepan over a low heat, and stir until the sugar has dissolved.

Step 5

Bring to the boil for 5-6 minutes stirring constantly until it is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove, cool a little then stir in the butter, followed by the chocolate and stir until melted. Leave to cool until thick enough to spread over the top of the flapjack. Scatter over the dried fruit, nuts and seeds whilst still warm. Cut into squares when completely cold.
