Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams dark chocolate
- 200 grams milk chocolate
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons golden syrup
- 200 grams digestive biscuits or graham crackers (crushed into coarse pieces)
- 100 grams mini marshmallows
- 100 grams mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans, roughly chopped)
- 50 grams white chocolate (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Line an 8-inch (20cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring there is some overhang for easy removal later.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate, milk chocolate, unsalted butter, and golden syrup. Melt gently over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring frequently, until smooth and glossy.
Allow the melted chocolate mixture to cool slightly before adding the crushed digestive biscuits, mini marshmallows, and chopped nuts. Stir until everything is evenly coated in chocolate.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly and pressing it gently with the back of a spoon to compact the layers.
Melt the white chocolate (if using) and drizzle it decoratively over the top of the mixture.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the dessert out of the pan. Cut into 12 equal squares or rectangles using a sharp knife.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
