Yes M&M’s chocolate flapjacks are a thing! Chewy delicious oats topped with creamy milk chocolate and a scattering of tasty M&M’s. Easy and luscious!

I don’t know about you but I just love a sweet, chocolatey, oats snack to eat whilst I drink coffee and this flapjack tray bake is just perfect.

The kids pester me to make these all the time because they just taste so good!

M&M’s Chocolate Flapjack Ingredients

  • 150g Butter 
  • 50g Soft Brown Sugar 
  • 2 tbs Golden Syrup 
  • 220g Rolled Oats 
  • 50g Ready Brek Instant Porridge 
  • 200g Chocolate

How to make M&M’s chocolate flapjacks

  • Preheat the oven to 180C 
  • Grease and line 20cm square tin with butter and baking paper. You don’t need to be super neat here, just whack it in.

  • Tip the flapjack mixture into the lined baking tin.

  • Press the mixture down firmly into the tray using the back of a spoon. Smooth the top over so it’s flat. Then bake in the oven for 15 minutes.

  • Once the flapjack base is cooked – remove from the oven and leave on a wire rack to cool for around an hour.
  • Once the flapjacks are cooled melt the chocolate ready for topping. Do this by breaking the chocolate into chunks and putting it into a jug, stand the jug in a pan of boiling water and stir carefully until fully melted.
  • Pour the chocolate onto the flapjacks.

  • Then using the back of a spoon simply spread the chocolate across the top of the oats so the whole top is covered in chocolate.

  • Next sprinkle over the M&M’s, press them slightly into the chocolate that way as the chocolate sets in the fridge the M&M’s will be embedded nicely.

  • Put the M&M’s chocolate flapjacks into the fridge to set – this usually takes around an hour.
  • Then remove the from the fridge and slice them carefully into 12 pieces. Again, you don’t need to be super neat here – these are a rustic little treat!

How to store flapjacks?

I store the flapjacks in an air tight container in the fridge. They’ll stay good for around 5 days but you’ll probably never find out as they’ll all be eaten way before then!
