Method
1. Heat the butter/spread, sugar and honey until the sugar has dissolved. 2. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl, add the dissolved items in 1 above and mix well. 3. Line a couple of biscuit trays with baking parchment lightly oiled with almond oil. Spread the above mix onto trays to 1.5 cm thick. 4. Bake in a preheated oven 180 degrees (160 degrees fan assisted) for around 30 mins until golden brown. 5. Meanwhile melt the chocolate in a bowl over some boiling water. 6. Allow the tin to cool for a few minutes and then mark the Oat-jack into required sizes with a knife without cutting through. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the Oat-Jacks in a crisscross pattern. 7. Allow to cool some more and if desperate, freeze for 20 mins, then enjoy!
Sometimes after taking the cooked Oat-Jack out of the oven firming the mix with a spatula keeps the Oat-Jack from crumbling.
