Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Milk chocolate
- 200 grams Dark chocolate
- 150 grams Butter
- 4 tablespoons Golden syrup
- 250 grams Digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 100 grams Mini marshmallows
- 50 grams Dried cranberries (optional)
- 50 grams White chocolate (for drizzling)
Instructions
Line a square baking tin (20cm x 20cm) with parchment paper, ensuring there is some overhang to make removing the dessert easier.
Place the milk chocolate, dark chocolate, butter, and golden syrup in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method), ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir until everything is melted and smooth.
While the chocolate mixture melts, break the digestive biscuits into small, uneven pieces (roughly 1–2 cm in size) and set aside. Do not crush them into crumbs; larger chunks work best for texture.
Once the chocolate mixture is completely melted, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
Stir the broken biscuits, mini marshmallows, and dried cranberries (if using) into the melted chocolate mixture. Mix until all the pieces are evenly coated in chocolate.
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and spread it out evenly, pressing down gently to compact the layers.
Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in short 15-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. Drizzle the white chocolate over the top of the biscuit mixture in a zigzag or random pattern to create the 'crazy paving' effect.
Refrigerate the tin for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
Remove the chocolate crazy paving from the tin using the parchment paper overhang, and cut it into squares or irregular pieces for serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
