Ingredients

  • 50 butter 
  • 50 clear honey 
  • 0.5  honey well (see 'Goes with')
  • 100 chocolate plain melted chopped

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • oven
  • potato masher
  • aluminum foil

Directions

  1. First make the Honey crunch granola with almonds & apricots (see 'Goes well with'). You'll need half the granola for this recipe.
  2. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and line a baking tin (15 x 20cm, or 18cm square) with baking parchment. Melt the butter and honey together in a large pan. Stir in the granola and chocolate chunks, making sure they are all well coated.
  3. Tip the flapjack mix into the tin and press down very firmly (a potato masher is a good tool to use here). Cover with foil or more baking parchment, then bake for 25-30 mins. Leave to cool in the tin, then drizzle over the melted chocolate. Once set, cut into 8 portions. Can be stored in an airtight container for 3 days.
