Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup (or light corn syrup)
- 150 grams mini marshmallows
- 150 grams digestive biscuits (or graham crackers), roughly crushed
- 100 grams mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts), roughly chopped
- 50 grams dried cranberries (or raisins)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some excess hanging over the edges for easy removal later.
In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (or use a microwave in 30-second intervals), melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and golden syrup together. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
Remove the melted chocolate mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly for 2 to 3 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mini marshmallows, crushed digestive biscuits, chopped mixed nuts, and dried cranberries.
Pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients. Gently fold everything together until fully coated in the chocolate.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, pressing it down evenly with a spatula to ensure the mixture is compact and level.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the block out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut into 12 bars or smaller bite-sized pieces if preferred.
Optional: Lightly dust the bars with powdered sugar before serving for a decorative touch.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
