  My partner made just the flapjack part of this recipe and they were delicious. He added extra syrup to make them bind together better.

  I made these with half the amount of chocolate (as that was all I had at home) and they was really delicious. I put half of the block in the freezer and then cut the rest into squares. When I took the block out of the freezer it was easy to cut extra squares off as needed.

  Tasty but despite following the recipe to the letter my caramel didn't firm up at all - I thought 4 hours in the fridge would do it but clearly not. Which isn't a massive problem except when you cut through the chocolate the caramel all splurges out the sides. Happy to lick fingers though...

  Thanks James, fantastic recipe. Made it for a birthday party a couple of months ago and people are still asking me for the recipe! I tried a variation by melting the chocolate and mixing it with the caramel to make a fudge topping - gorgeous.

  I loved the flavour and texture that the oats gave these flapjack take on the millionaires shortcake I have made in the past. A real treat.

  I used White chocolate which worked very well. The caramel didn't set very well but overall this was lovely. I also used rolled oats abd the base turned out quite firm, not sure if it was meant to be that firm?

  I could not get the caramel to set and when I tried to cut into squares, the chocolate cracked unevenly too. Help please, where am I going wrong? This is the only recipe I have had a disaster with!!

  I've had loads of disasters in the kitchen and this was one of them. Tried two lots, one with caramel that didn't set and the chocolate cracked when I tried to cut it. The base was so firm I broke my knife trying to get through it. The second lot, minus caramel and chocolate (see above diaster) was not as firm but I couldn't get it out of the tin. Mr family ending up communally scraping it out with individual spoons! No one dared complain! Don't tell me where I went wrong, there aren't enough hours in the day.

  I agree with Helen, my caramel did not set and the chocolate just cracked when cut and was just swimming on top of the caramel - and just ended up as an unattractive mess.

  I'm rating this with 4 stars as it was delicious! However, I agree with a lot of the reviewers about how messy it turned out. The caramel didn't set and chocolate cracked when I tried to cut it, especially as the base was so hard. Not sure how they cut them so neatly for the photo!! Any advice on cutting these up successfully??
