Easy cherry flapjack

Here's an easy peasy version of cherry flapjack, using the bare essential ingredients you should have hanging around in the cupboard!
Loosely based on the recipe my mother uses for flapjack, only with my messing about involved!
Perfect for when you get the craving but can't be bothered to shop!

• 100g butter/marge
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey 
• 2 tablespoons golden syrup 
• 4 tablespoons cherry jam
• 200g oats
• handful choc chips (optional)

Pre heat oven (fan) to 160c
Melt butter, sugar, honey and syrup in a pan over low heat, then add jam, melt until jam is evenly mixed in and there's no blobs of jam left. Then remove from heat and mix oats in thoroughly. 
Spoon into a baking tin lined with grease proof paper, press down well with back of spoon. 
Bake for around 15min in oven (till lightly golden on the top)
Remove from oven and sprinkle a layer of chocolate chips over hot flapjack, leave to melt for a few minutes, then spread out evenly over the top. 
Them leave to cool completely, it's hard I know, it smells sooooo good, but if you try and cut it too early it will fall apart!

I've not yet tried it with other flavours of jam, but I'm sure it would be lovely with something such as apricot jam etc?

Enjoy! :-)
