  • 1/3 cup (80ml) golden syrup or treacle

  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.

  5. Pour the warm treacle mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until well combined and coated.

  7. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours or until firm.

  8. Slice into bars or squares and store in an airtight container in the fridge.

 


Notes

  • Treacle gives a deep, rich flavor. For a milder taste, use golden syrup or a blend of both.

  • Swap the nuts for seeds to make it nut-free.

  • You can drizzle melted dark chocolate over the top for an extra treat.
