Description (Some HTML is OK)

Delicious, pretty healthy and ridiculously easy. Made them for the kids but the adults have scoffed the lot. Inspired by the extremely expensive Organix bars of the same name. Keep for ages (2 weeks+) and great for lunch boxes or emergency snacks.


Ingredients

Makes 16 servings

  • 2 tbsp raisins
  • 1 can condensed milk (397g is carnation)
  • 1 tbsp cocoa
  • 2-3 cups porridge oats (have to guess here, I've never weighed it out)

Preparation (Some HTML is OK)

Soak the raisins overnight in water (put in a small bowl and cover with water). Don't feel bad if you forget to do this or leave out the raisins altogether at a pinch.
Cover a baking tray with greaseproof paper and lightly grease the top of the paper.
In a small pan warm the condensed milk and cocoa together. You just want this warmed through not to reach boiling point.

In a mixing bowl put 2 cups of oats and the raisins + their soaking liquid. Add the condensed milk and cocoa. Stir in. Add some more oats until the mixture is thick and can hardly hold any more oats.

Then scoop the whole lot into the centre of the baking tray. Gently flatten out into a rough square about 1/2 to 1 cm deep.

Place in a pre-heated oven (140'c or 120'c fan) for 1 1/4 hours. Check after 1 hour. Needs to be just going hard on the top but not browning.

Immediately after removing from oven cut into pieces with a sharp knife. Leave to cool completely on the tray.

Wrap each piece individually with cling film and place in a airtight container.
