Mince Pie Flackjacks

Too good not to share. Bit of an experiment with the amounts, but they turned out first class. Good for the bait box over the festive season.

Shizzle:

100g butter/magarine
100g brown sugar
125g clear honey
300g mincemeat
400g oats
1tsp mixed spice
1tsp cinnamon
cap of brandy (optional, but not really)
icing sugar to dust

Bizzle:

Oven at 180C. Get your butter, brown sugar and honey in a big pan on a low heat, stirring occasionally. Don't let it boil or it'll be rubbish. When the sugar has dissolved (about 5 mins) add the mincemeat, spices and brandy for a couple of minutes, until it's all liquid like. Lash the oats in the pan and mix thoroughly. Tip into a lined baking tray, press down firmly and cook for 15-20 mins.

Let it cool in the baking tray before lifting out, but take the baking paper off before it goes cold. Put it in the fridge to go cold before cutting or it'll fall to bits.

Sift loads of icing sugar on top when they're done, it makes them look well good.
