Method
- STEP 1
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Butter a 20cm square cake tin and line with baking parchment. Tip the butter, golden syrup, sugar and chocolate into a saucepan, and put on a low heat. Stir until the sugar is melted. Pour into a bowl and sift in the cocoa powder, then stir in the oats, nuts, and cherries, if using.
- STEP 2
Press into the prepared tin and bake for 20-25 mins until the edges are set. Leave to cool completely in the tin and cut into 12 squares to serve. Will keep for up to a week in an airtight container – the texture will soften over time for a chewier finish.
