Flapjacks are a great snack for kids and adults, one that helps to keep them feeling fuller for longer but some are so loaded with sugar that actually have the opposite effect and just give you a sugar high followed by a sugar crash. These delicious, healthy, fruity flapjacks are perfect for those that want a tasty treat without the nasties and they are super easy to make too.
