Ingredients

  • 115g salted butter
  • 60g golden syrup
  • 65g caster sugar
  • 200g rolled oats
  • 100g dark chocolate good quality

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to gas mark 4/350oC/180°C (160°FC fan) and line an 8-inch (20cm) square tin with baking paper.
  • Add the butter to a microwavable bowl and melt in the microwave at 25 second increments. You can also melt the butter in a saucepan. Mix in the golden syrup and sugar then mix in the oats, ensuring the oats are well coated.
  • Press the oat mixture firmly into the prepared tin then bake for 20 - 25 minutes until golden at the edges.
  • In microwavable bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave at 20 second increments. Watch carefully to avoid overheating the chocolate and making it grainy. You’ll need to take the chocolate out as soon as its melts.
