Total time: 45 min
Yield: 16 servings
Ingredients: 255 g Butter; 250 g Light brown sugar; 2 tsp Vanilla extract; 250 g Plain flour; 150 g Oats; 1 1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of soda; 300 g Milk chocolate; 300-350 g Toffee sweets; 250 ml Double cream; 1 1/2 tsp Salt

These wee beauties were my most popular treat when I supplied coffee shops in Galway, and for good reason. Think oaty flapjack meets chocolate and chewy thick caramel. It's a match made in heaven! It will surprise you how simple these are to make and the reward is massive. A thick slice with a warm, strong cuppa is hard to beat. Believe me, once you start making these it will soon become a weekly occurrence.

Did you use the x16 recipe for your 27x18cm tin?

Hi Jamie, that’s the tin I’d normally use for them 👍🏼 It totally depends on the size you cut them. When I made them for cafes in Galway I cut them into 10, they were pretty big though 😅 I always got it in the ear from my family that they were too big 😂 You’ll get 16 decent sized finger portions though 🙌🏼

I just love the proportions you've got in these cuts. I'm looking to start my own honesty shed that sell niche bakes like these in South Yorkshire. I'll be giving it a whack in a 10x10cm tin this weekend 👍🏼

Great, easy to follow recipe to make these absolutely delicious treats. I'll cut a bit smaller in future as they are super sweet, but absolutely 10/10, will make again!
