Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Butter a 20cm square tin and line with baking parchment, leaving some overhanging the rim (this will help you remove the flapjacks after baking). Chop the 150g butter into cubes, then put in a large saucepan along with the peanut butter, brown sugar and golden syrup. Melt over low heat, stirring gently using a spatula until smooth and combined.
step 2
Sift over the cocoa powder, stirring to combine. When the mixture is a uniform colour and smooth, pour in the oats. Mix until fully combined, then spoon into the tin, spreading it out to the edges. Bake for 20-25 mins until bubbling and darkened at the edges. Leave to cool completely in the tin.
step 3
Once completely cool, lift the flapjacks out of the tin and cut into 8 bars or 16 squares. If you like, decorate the flapjacks; chop the dark chocolate into small chunks, then melt in a heatproof bowl in short bursts in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water). Dunk one end of each bar or square into the melted chocolate, using a small spatula to help coat it. Finely chop the nuts, then sprinkle over the chocolate- coated flapjacks. Leave to set on a wire rack with a tray underneath to catch any dripping chocolate. Will keep in an airtight container for up to a week.
