Superjack


Mr VST has been off mountain-biking this weekend so I thought I'd make him some high energy snacks to take with him. This super-flap-jack I am naming Superjack for short has the usual oats, golden syrup, sugar and butter but is also packed full of raisins and nuts and topped with melted chocolate.

For a normal amount (i.e. half of what is shown in the photo) you will need:

150g butter
75g golden syrup
75g sugar (light soft brown or demerara)
250g oats
100g mixed nuts
60g raisins/sultanas (this is a guesstimate I'm afraid as I didn't measure)
50g white chocolate
50g milk chocolate

1. Put butter, golden syrup and sugar in a saucepan and heat until liquid and all the sugar has dissolved.
2. Line a baking tin with greaseproof paper.
3. Mix the oats, nuts and raisins into the liquid (having taken it off the heat).
4. Put the mixture into the baking tin and squash it down with the back of a spoon and then bake at 175°C/gas mark 4 for 25 to 30 minutes.
5. Cut into pieces while still hot and leave to cool.
6. Melt white chocolate over a bain-marie (bowl of hot water), spoon over cool flapjack and then do the same with the milk chocolate and voila - superjack!
