Whilst I think Flapjacks alone are a great treat, why not push them further and create these Milk Chocolate and Mini Egg Flapjacks. A thick layer of gooey flapjack is topped with milk chocolate and sprinkled with Mini Eggs for a perfect Easter treat. I personally think that Mini Eggs are one of the best chocolates out there (more than open to people trying to change my mind on this one!), so these are an elite treat, packed full of sugary goodness.
Theses are so easy to make and only require 6 ingredients, and one tin. That said, these will disappear in no time, so plan for that if you have a lot of hungry humans who love a chocolatey treat. These are awesome for bake sales, your teammates at work, or for any other possible occasion that calls for something sweet!
Flapjacks are a truly nostalgic thing for me, with so many happy memories of the smell of that sugary, buttery oat mixture! Here are my top tips for great flapjacks:
– Temperature: Heat the butter, sugar and golden syrup together to create one warm mixture to stir the oats into. This will create the ideal gooey, sticky texture.
– Baking: Bake until golden brown, and the edges are just crisp. You want a good crisp layer to create those texture contrasts.
– Chill Time: These only need about 30 minutes before ready to cut. When doing so, use a hot knife (dip the blade into a glass of hot water) for clean slices.
