  Made this twice already really, really quick and easy. Good for the childrens lunch boxes and sold out at a cake sale. Great recipe for my 10 yr old daughter to make by herself. Added more cherries to second batch, as complaints from my family that some slices were cherry-less!

  Very nice and did not fall apart which flapjacks can do. Added less sugar and used some sour cherries as well. Would be nice using dried apricots

  Very easy to make and they taste good. I would probably add some more cherries next time and the recipe could easily be tweaked to add other fruits such as apricots or other ingredients like coconut.

  I made this recipe for my dad and his work friends. I put raisins and sultanas instead of cherries and added white chocolate as well as dark chocolate for the topping. Both work really well and from feedback they are a definate success. I would perhaps cook it for slightly longer next time but definately make it again.

  These are the perfect flapjacks. They cut well without crumbling into bits and are lovely and chewy. Definitely a keeper.

  Loved these and so easy to adapt for other fruit and ingredients. Not sure why the need to mark out the squares before you drizzle the chocolate?

  mine were really sweet and really sticky, crust on top but really gooey below. didnt add any chocolate because i think they're sweet enough. it doesnt look as pale as the picture and the cherries didnt stay whole but still delicious

  Lovely crunchy flapjack style biscuits. Crunchy on the top but soft in the middle and very easy to make. Instead, I used gluten free flower as mum can't have gluten and it tastes as if nothing had been changed! I would add some more cherries next time though, other why's a fantastic highly recommended biscuit. Freya (11 years)
