These I have made quite a few times. A smash hit for cricket teas - especially with the younger cricketers!

My 9 year son made these tonight he He had watched James cooking them on TV. He excluded the ginger and chocolate and baked them for 35 min. They were absolutly delicious. I had a careful eye on him.

I made these today and they are quite delicious, the combination of the chocolate and stem-ginger works beautifully in this flapjack. I used dark-chocolate chips.
