Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Use rolled oats – Quick oats make it too dense. Rolled oats give you that classic chewy texture.
Heat the butter mixture – Make sure your butter and golden syrup mix is hot enough to activate the bicarb soda properly.
Press it down firmly – Use the back of a spoon to press the mix into the tin evenly so it holds together when sliced.
Cool completely before slicing – Let it cool in the tin before cutting, or it might fall apart.
Add a twist if you like – Throw in some choc chips, dried fruit or chopped nuts if you want to mix things up.
Store it right – Keep in an airtight container at room temp for up to a week.
Freezer-friendly – Slice and freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Just thaw at room temp when you need a snack!
