Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
Break the dark chocolate and milk chocolate into small pieces and add them to a heatproof bowl along with the butter and golden syrup.
Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir continuously until everything is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
While the chocolate is cooling, place the digestive biscuits in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin into small pieces. Avoid making the crumbs too fine; some chunks are good for texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, and dried fruit. Pour the slightly cooled melted chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients and stir to coat everything thoroughly.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon to press it down evenly, ensuring the mixture is compact and level.
If using sprinkles or edible decorations, scatter them evenly over the top and press lightly to adhere.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set and firm.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the Choca Blockas out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 bars or squares.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
