What is a flapjack? 

Unlike their fluffy American pancake namesake, a British flapjack is a chewy baked bar made from butter, sugar, syrup and oats. For an extra special treat, our chocolate flapjack recipe uses chunky hunks of Yorkie® Raisin & Biscuit for more chew, crunch and rich milk chocolate flavour.  

  

What Are the Common Mistakes When Making Flapjacks? 

Great chocolate flapjacks are all about balance and timing. Start by measuring everything accurately with just the right amount of golden syrup and butter to bind the rolled oats. Before baking, press the mixture firmly into the tin to help it hold together. When baking, take them out while they’re still a little soft in the centre with golden edges. As they cool, the flapjacks will firm up and gain their signature chew. If you overbake them, they can become crumbly. If you can, wait until the flapjacks are cool before you slice. 

Tips and Variations for Chocolate Flapjack 

Have fun with your flapjacks! For a pure chocolate experience, use Yorkie® Original.  Crushed nuts, toasted coconut, a sprinkle of mixed seeds or a teaspoon of baking spices all add different twists to your flapjacks. For a silky smooth and visually stunning top, you could even finish with a drizzle of 2 tbsp melted Milkybar® white chocolate.
