- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/160 degrees C fan. Grease a 20cm square baking pan with butter and line with baking parchment.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, peanut butter, sugar and golden syrup over a low heat until smooth and combined. Stir in the oats, peanuts and salt then scrape into the prepared tin and bake for 20 minutes or until golden at the edges. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- To make the caramel, combine the cream and sugar in a small pan over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved completely. Turn up the heat so the mixture comes to the boil then reduce to medium and simmer for 3 - 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter, vanilla and sea salt until combined. Pour the caramel over the flapjack base and leave to cool completely, then refrigerate until the caramel has set.
- Remove the caramel flapjack from the tin and cut into fifteen squares. Drizzle each square with the melted milk chocolate and sprinkle over the peanuts. Allow to set at room temperature then serve.
- These flapjacks will keep in an airtight container for up to one week.
