Ingredients
  

  • 175 g salted butter
  • 125 g soft brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp golden syrup
  • 275 g rolled oats
  • 125 g raisins

For the topping

  • 125 g milk chocolate
  • 25 g salted butter
  • 50 ml double cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180ºc / Gas 4.  Line a 20.5cm (8in) square tin with baking paper.
  • Place the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a pan and heat gently until the sugar dissolves, stirring all the time.
  • Add the oats and raisins to the pan and mix well.  Remove from the heat and spread into the tin, pressing down well with a back of a spoon.  Bake for 15-20mins until golden brown and firm.  Set aside to cool and leave in the tin.
  • Place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water to melt, stirring occasionally.  Cool slightly then add the cream.  Spoon over the flapjack and leave to set.  Top tip: when you add the cream, if it cools the chocolate down and doesn't seem to combine, place the bowl back over the pan of hot water and warm up slightly.
  • When the chocolate has set, lift the flapjack out the tin, using the lining paper to help you.  Cut into squares with a sharp knife and then enjoy....
