Honey Oat Snack

Moist, gooey snack that’s totally portable for anytime munching! Send it to school in lunch boxes too.

Ingredients:
750 grams butter (preferably unsalted)
450 grams golden syrup or honey
500 grams soft brown sugar
1 kilo porridge oats

Method:
1. In a large pan, on low heat, melt butter, sugar and syrup till runny. Mix in the oats really well, making sure none are left uncoated by the butter-sugar mix.
2. Pour into a 20 x 30-cm tray lined with baking parchment. Level out the mix with a spatula. Bake in a preheated oven at 160 C for 25 to 35 minutes. (These should look seriously under-baked—that's the point. When they are done, if you grip the pan and give it a little wobble, it will look uncooked, and that’s perfect.)
3. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave for several hours or overnight till completely cold. If you try and turn them out before, they will be ruined. When they are completely cold, turn them out and cut into squares. Wrapped in cling-film or foil these will last a week at least. They freeze well too!
