A wickedly moreish biscuit-based chocolate dessert.
Ingredients
- 225g softened butter, plus extra for greasing
- 3 tbsp golden syrup
- 50g cocoa powder
- 300g digestive biscuits, coarsely crushed
- 400g dark chocolate (such as Bournville), broken into squares
- 4 tbsp multi-coloured sugar strands (optional)
Method
- 1. Grease and line a round 18cm springform cake tin.
- 2. Put the butter, golden syrup and cocoa into a large bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes until melted and stir until smooth (or melt it all in a pan over a low heat). Add the biscuits, stir well, and spread evenly into the lined tin.
- 3. Put the chocolate into a bowl, microwave on high for 2 minutes, or until melted, and stir until smooth. (Alternatively, put in a bowl and melt over a pan of just simmering water.) Pour the chocolate over the biscuit mixture and use a palette knife to smooth the surface. If you have children to please, sprinkle over the sugar strands. Chill for at least 2 hours, until set.
- 4. To take on a picnic, transport with an ice pack or in a cool box to keep it firm. Slice into wedges.
