This recipe is a spin on my Malteser Bunny flapjacks, but with a Ferrero Rocher twist.
They’re thick, soft, and buttery, with a layer of Nutella running through the middle and a topping of chocolate, chopped hazelnuts, and Ferrero Rocher halves.
It’s the same simple method, just with a few tweaks… and if you love chocolate and hazelnuts, you’re going to love this version just as much.
INGREDIENTS
Flapjacks:
- 425g butter
- 125g golden syrup
- 350g soft light brown sugar
- 425g jumbo oats
- 150g plain flour
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- 150g Nutella
Topping:
- 250g milk chocolate
- 150g Nutella
- Ferrero Rocher (halved)
- Chopped hazelnuts
METHOD
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and grease/line a 9” square tin (or a bigger one if you prefer thinner slices).
- In a large bowl, mix together the oats, plain flour, and cornflour.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, sugar, and golden syrup until smooth and combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir well. Leave to cool for 10 mins or so ideally!
- Press half of the flapjack mixture into the prepared tin and smooth it out.
- Add dollops of Nutella over the first layer (it’s a bit messy, works best if the flapjack mixture has cooled slightly), and gently spread it out.
- Top with the remaining flapjack mixture and press down lightly.
- Bake for 20 minutes. They won’t look ready, but they’ll firm up as they cool… please just trust the process!
- Once completely cool, melt the milk chocolate and Nutella together (microwave in short bursts, stirring every 20 seconds), then spread it over the flapjacks.
- Decorate with halved Ferrero Rochers and a sprinkling of chopped hazelnuts.
- Let them set at room temperature, then chill in the fridge (about 10–15 minutes) before slicing. Don’t leave them too long or they won’t be soft and moist!
NOTES
- I cut mine into 9 large squares, but you can slice them smaller if you prefer!
- Cooling the flapjack mix before putting in the tin does help the Nutella stage as it doesn’t melt as easily. This step can be messy!
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week
