Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams dark chocolate
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons golden syrup
- 250 grams digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 75 grams raisins
- 50 grams chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt flakes
Instructions
Line an 8x8 inch square baking tin with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate, unsalted butter, and golden syrup together. Stir occasionally until smooth and well combined, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Place the digestive biscuits in a large zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until you have a mixture of small crumbs and larger pieces for texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, raisins, and chopped nuts, if using. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking tin. Spread it out evenly and press down firmly with the back of a spoon or spatula to create a compact and even layer.
Sprinkle the sea salt flakes lightly over the top for extra flavor and texture.
Place the tin in the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the squares are firm and set.
Once set, remove from the tin using the parchment paper overhang and place on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 equal squares or desired portions.
Store the dark chocolate fridge squares in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!
