Cherry and Coconut Flapjacks

One of my favourite hobbies is baking so I thought I'd start a blog of the things I make.  Today I've made Cherry and Coconut flapjacks from a recipe from a friend.
This is how to make them:
Cover a baking tray in grease proof paper.
Pre heat the over to 160oC
Melt 200g of butter in a pan with 170g caster sugar and 2 table spoons of golden syrup.
Then add 170g of oats, 100g dessicated coconut and 70g of glacĂ© cherries, mix together well.
Pour the mixture into the baking tray and spread with a spatula or a knife.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.

Leave to cool on a wire rack for 5 mins then cut into pieces - the mixture will still be soft so you can use the spatula - then leave in the tray on the wire rack until cooled and set.
