Method |
| |
- Mix
together the oats, nuts, apricots, raisins, Bran Flakes, sunflower
and sesame seeds.
- Heat the honey
and condensed milk until they're warm and blended.
- Mix condensed milk into cereal mixture; tip
the mixture into a non-stick baking tin (about 30 x 25 cm) and press
it down firmly.
- Bake at 180 °C for
about 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Leave to cool; once it is quite cold loosen the edges with a palette
knife and turn it out, upside down, onto a board.
...
- For this step the "cake" should be cool but not cold.
Melt the white and dark chocolate separately. Now make a chessboard
like pattern with spoonfuls of dark and white chocolate all over the
top of the cereal cake.
Next, take
a small palette knife and, using a zigzag motion, swirl the two chocolates
together to give a marbled effect.
Work quickly, otherwise the chocolate sets before it is mixed.
- Chill in the fridge for about
1 hour, then use a sharp knife to cut it into 32 to 50 bars.

** I prefer to use the 70% chocolate disks from Lindt for the dark chocolate; second choice would be Bournville's dark chocolate.
For the white chocolate I prefer to use Nestle's Original Milky Bar.
Makes 30-50 bars, depending on the size they are cut.
Original recipe from:
The
Delia Collection Chocolate.
