Austrailian

Saucepan

Wooden spoon

Use your hands to crush the cornflakes until quite small - don&#39;t be tempted to leave them whole as the bars will end up falling apart

Preheat the oven to 180C/ 350F/ GM4 and grease and line an 8x8-inch (20x20cm) baking tin

If using raisins chop as finely as possible - again, cutting them up means the bars will hold together better

Melt the butter and golden syrup in a large saucepan over a low heat

use a wooden spoon to stir in the sugar, coconut, cornflakes, cocoa powder, salt and raisins until well mixed and no streaks of flour remain

Turn into a greased and lined baking tin, press down with the back of a spoon until the top looks even and cook for 20 minutes

Let cool completely. If not covering with chocolate, now is the time to cut into squares, slices or traingles

If covering with chocolate, melt the chocolate either in the microwave or in a bain Marie. Mix in the oil then spread over the top of the bake and scatter sprinkles over if using

Let the chocolate set then cut into pieces

Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days
