Ingredients

• 75g soft unsalted butter

• 300g best-quality dark chocolate, broken into pieces

• 3 tbsp golden syrup

• 100g your favourite biscuits

• 100g mixed unsalted nuts

• 100g mini marshmallows

• 2 tsp icing sugar, to dust

Method

1. Smash the chocolate into small chunks within the packet or chop up with a knife.
2. Melt the butter, and golden syrup in a saucepan. Add it to the chopped chocolate and leave to melt into a rich, smooth mixture, stirring to make sure there are no lumps.
3. Scoop out about ¼ of the melted mixture and spread it across the bottom of whichever cake pan, dish or mould you wish to use.
4. Put the mixed nuts into a lip lock bag and then break them into pieces with a rolling pin. Add the cookies or biscuits and have another quick bash to keep some larger chunks.
5. Fold the cookie and nut pieces into the remaining melted chocolate mixture in the mixing bowl, and then add the marshmallows.
6. Add the mixture to the pan and spread it with a rubber scraper and top with chopped nuts, extra mallows etc.
7. Refrigerate for 2 – 4 hours to set, cut into bars and dust with icing sugar to serve.
