Chocolate Coconut Flapjacks: A Sweet and Simple Treat
Chocolate coconut flapjacks are a classic British snack that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. They are made with a base of oats, butter, and sugar, and are then topped with a layer of melted chocolate and shredded coconut.
Flapjacks are a versatile snack that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. They can be eaten on their own, or they can be used as a topping for yogurt or ice cream. They can also be cut into bars and wrapped in parchment paper for a quick and easy snack to take on the go.
Ingredients:
* 1 cup (250g) rolled oats
* 1/2 cup (125g) unsalted butter, melted
* 1/4 cup (50g) light brown sugar
* 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
* 1/4 cup (50g) shredded coconut
* 100g dark chocolate, melted
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and coconut. Stir until well combined.
3. Press the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
4. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Pour the melted chocolate over the flapjacks and spread to evenly coat.
5. Sprinkle with additional shredded coconut, if desired.
6. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
Tips:
* For a chewier flapjack, use porridge oats instead of rolled oats.
* For a sweeter flapjack, add more sugar to taste.
* For a more decadent flapjack, use a higher quality dark chocolate.
* Flapjacks can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
