These delicious flapjacks are great for making with kids. Skip the chocolate sauce and pack them into lunchboxes for a breakfast treat.

Method


  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/360F/Gas 4.

  2. Melt the butter, sugar and honey together in a pan over a medium heat.

  3. Add the rolled oats, dried cherries, dried cranberries, desiccated coconut and hazelnuts and stir well.

  4. Pour the flapjack mixture into a greased 30cm/12in x 20cm/8in square baking tin. Press the mixture into the corners and smooth the top.

  5. Place into the oven to bake for 20 minutes, or until golden-brown and bubbling.

  6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Turn out of the tin and cut into equal-sized squares.

  7. For the chocolate dipping sauce, heat the cream in a pan until warmed through. Stir in the chocolate pieces until melted and smooth, then stir in the brandy.
