    Hmm that didn't seem to work. Here is the recipe I saved on my pooter.


    Flapjack, condensed milk recipe.
    Porridge Oats (Tesco's value ones work well), 500g
    Butter, 300g
    Golden Syrup 4 serving spoons
    Unsweetended condensed milk, half a tin
    Demerera sugar, 340g

    1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius, you may need to search the web to find a conversion to gas mark (1-9) which many ovens are in.
    2. Line the baking tin with baking parchment, this doesn't have to be neat.
    3. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat.
    4. Add the sugar and syrup. Keep heating and stirring until all is melted and mixed. Don't rush by turning the heat up, the sugar will start to caramelise etc. If it starts to boil take it off the heat!
    5. Add the condensed milk and mix.
    6. Gradually add the oats, folding them in. All the oats should be coated, and the mixture quite dense, but still sticky. Don't add so many oats that the mixture becomes dry.
    7. Pour the mixture into the tins and spread about so that it lines the tin to a depth of 2-3cm. Fill as many tins as necessary! Don't squash the mixture in, just spread it evenly.
    8. Bake in the oven for ~15mins. If using top and middle shelves swap half way through so they cook evenly.
    9. You should take them out when they just start to go brown round the edges, don't leave longer than this. If they're still squidgy in the middle that's fine, they set on cooking.

    Nigella has a recipie for chocolates.

    Condensed milk + chocolate + butter.

    Easy as.
  • I rather like conny-onny poured over porridge with some brown sugar. You can make some rather nice caramel/toffee with it.
