Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 100 g milk chocolate
- 125 g unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp golden syrup
- 200 g digestive biscuits
- 100 g mini marshmallows
- 75 g unsalted peanuts (optional)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Line a rectangular or square baking tin (approximately 20cm x 20cm) with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate, milk chocolate, butter, and golden syrup. Place the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth.
Remove the bowl from the heat and set aside about 100ml of the melted chocolate mixture for later.
Place the digestive biscuits in a large zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin. Aim for a combination of crumbs and small chunks for texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, mini marshmallows, and unsalted peanuts if using.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture (excluding the reserved 100ml) over the biscuit mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated with chocolate.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking tin, pressing it down firmly and evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Drizzle the reserved melted chocolate over the top of the mixture, adding a decorative swirl if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Once firm, remove from the tin and cut into bars or squares. Dust with powdered sugar if using, and serve.
