Ingredients
125g unsalted butter, chopped
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 cups traditional rolled oats
100g packet fried noodles
1/3 cup pepitas
1/4 cup plain flour
11/3 cups Dark Choc Melts (185g)
Method
-
Grease an 18cm x 28cm rectangular slice pan. Line base and two long sides with baking paper, extending paper 2cm above pan edges.
-
Combine butter, sugar, and syrup in a medium saucepan. Stir over a low heat until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Bring to boil. Remove from heat.
-
Place oats, noodles, pepitas, and flour in a large bowl. Mix well. Add butter mixture. Stir until well combined. Press firmly over base of prepared pan. Smooth over top.
-
Cook in a moderately slow oven (160C) for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven. Cool completely in the pan. Refrigerate for 3 hours, or until firm.
-
Place chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on Medium (50%) in 30 second bursts, stirring, until melted and smooth.
-
Use baking paper to lift the slice out of the pan. Cut into bars. Dip or spread melted chocolate over the base of the bars. Arrange, chocolate-side up, on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
