Chocolate Flapjack and Chocbite Giveaway!




My Brother and Sister in law came at the weekend, I made the Baked Portuguese Cod and a very easy cake/flapjack. Its so simple and very tasty and I added a little slice of strawberry to the top. Oh and a flapjack is an oatmeal bar in the UK, just in case you were wondering.

Ingredients:
  • 5 oz self raising flour
  • 8 oz butter or margarine
  • 5 oz sugar
  • 3 oz shredded coconut
  • 3 oz Oatmeal
  • one tablespoon of cocoa
  • melted chocolate

Method:
  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees
  2. melt the butter/margarine over a low heat
  3. stir in the sugar, coconut, oatmeal and cocoa
  4. turn into the tin and level with a knife and bake for 30 minutes
  5. when almost cold cut into squares
  6. then cover with chocolate
And now......

It is with great pleasure to offer you all a cool giveaway.

  2. Sweet! I'm not sure how to do this, but the bar I built was CHOCdark with Macadamias, Slivered Raw Almonds, Walnuts, Blueberries, and Strawberries. I would name it "Fruity Crunch" since it is made with fruit and crunchy nuts :-). Creative, right?! I'll tweet too as cygirl88: http://twitter.com/cygirl88/status/10256447538

  28. I called mine Chocolate Explosion: It has pop rocks, key lime flakes, and black and white sesame seeds on a dark chocolate base. Weird but intriguing :) The name says explosion because of the pop rocks, which I guess are self-explanatory.

    Awesome giveaway!

  29. The flapjack looks awesome.

  35. Crazy! Here in the US, flapjacks actually refer to pancakes (which is why I was very confused by your picture). Those look great though!

  36. flapjacks are granola bars - then what are granola bars? Milk chocolate with toffee sounds good to me and Jasmine looks cuter than cute.

  54. Mmmmm...flapjacks and chocolate. I'm glad it's afternoon here because this would have put me right over the edge if I hadn't had breakfast already.

    Okay, I played around with chocbite.com (cute site) and came up with CHOCdark w/ dried blueberries, salty peanuts, cashews, pecans and pistachios. The name is just too obvious - GONE CHOCONUTS! (Does this give away where I am right now?)
