Ginger crunch is one of the best in my book but it has to have a topping with plenty of ginger and thick enough for your teeth to sink into on top of a base with just enough crunch. A handful of oats and some roasted almonds added to the base makes for a satisfying outcome. Makes 24
Base
| 150 g | Butter |
| 2 Tbsp | Golden syrup |
| ¾ cup | White sugar |
| 1 Tbsp | Crystallised ginger, finely chopped (Main) |
| 1 cup | Rolled oats |
| ½ cup | Almonds, (roasted and chopped) |
| ¾ cup | Self raising flour |
| ½ cup | Desiccated coconut |
Topping
| 100 g | Butter |
| 4 tsp | Ground ginger (Main) |
| 5 Tbsp | Golden syrup |
| 2 cups | Icing sugar, (sifted) |
| 1 small handful | Crystallised ginger, or stem ginger, thinly sliced, for top (Main) |
