These deluxe flapjacks, crammed with fruit, seeds and nuts, are truly amazing. Topped with some melted chocolate for the final element of indulgence, they're a must-have on your list of "Pesach treats" to bake!

Method

● Grease and line a 20 x 30cm baking tin with baking parchment paper.

● Preheat the oven to 180°C.

● Tip the figs, dates, apricots, matzah meal, sultanas, coconut and half of the mixed seeds into a bowl and mix well.

● Melt the margarine with the honey and brown sugar in a pan over a low heat. Stir until smooth and pour over the fruit and nut mixture and combine well.

● Transfer to the prepared baking tin and press the mixture down, smoothing level.

● Bake for 20 minutes or until golden.

● While still hot, brush the top of the flapjacks with honey and scatter with the grated chocolate followed by the remaining seeds, pistachio nuts and cranberries.

● Gently press the toppings into the chocolate.

● Leave to set before cutting into squares.
