Easy, nutritious and super scrumptious these are a must for the cupboard in every household!  

There is something about flapjacks – so full of oaty goodness- that is always perfect for filling a hungry gap in the day. They are perfect for powering you through the morning until lunch or in the afternoon, fuelling the little ones through after school activities. Or to get you through the commute home, gym, evening meetings and preparing dinner.

This is one extra special flapjack as not only does it have the aforementioned oaty, delectable goodness but it also has an absolutely divine chocolate filling giving it that extra special treat factor. I mean who doesn’t love chocolate – not me for sure!!!

And this chocolate – made with awesome peanut butter – is soooooooo creamy, melt in the mouth and delectable that you may find yourself dreaming about these bars!

Like all of this wasn’t enough to have you running to the kitchen to check the ingredients list against your supply cupboard – these awesome flapjacks are also super easy to make.

No oven required! Once the cocoa butter is melted it’s literally a case of stirring and spooning – they’ll be ready in no time!

Plus if you happen to be starving in that moment, and waiting for them to set in the fridge before enjoying the heavenly treat ahead seems impossible, you can always pop them in the freezer. They should be good to cut after about 20 mins in the quick freeze section!

So grab you spoon and your mixing bowl and let’s get cooking (or technically prepping!!! ;))
