Chocolate Biscuit Cake

Be warned! This is not my normal type of recipe, there is lots of sugar and processed food in here. But then again, it is a special occasion recipe! and one slice is never enough! It is great to use up Easter Eggs, ideal as a wedding cake or birthday cake and can be made a few days in advance.

Ingredients

650g milk chocolate
225g dark chocolate
340g golden syrup
340g butter
1 dessertspoon cocoa powder
400g digestive biscuits
250g ginger nut biscuits
2 Crunchie bars
Flake bars to decorate

Method:

1. Heat the butter and syrup.
2. Melt both chocolates together in a bowl over a pot of hot water.
3. Break up the biscuits and mix all dry ingredients together.
4. Add to melted chocolate, syrup and butter.
5. Line a tin of your chosen shape with parchment paper, press the mixture into the lined tin.
6. Chill.
7. Turn out of tin and decorate with crumbled flake bars or ribbon.

Tip : It can be tricky to get out of the tin but if so, sit the tin in a little warm water to loosen.
