Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g dark chocolate preferably high quality
  • 100 g unsalted butter or coconut oil for dairy-free
  • 200 g digestive biscuits or graham crackers
  • 2 tbsp golden syrup or honey/mapping syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional, for flavor
  • a pinch sea salt to enhance flavor

Equipment

  • 20x20cm (8x8 inch) baking tray
  • Saucepan
  • Mixing spoon
  • parchment paper
  • sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Line your baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Break the digestive biscuits into small chunks and crush some into finer crumbs—aim for a mixture of textures for crunch and cohesiveness.
  3. Place the dark chocolate and butter in a saucepan over very low heat. Gently melt while stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth, shiny, and fully combined, filling the air with a rich chocolate aroma.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt, blending well for extra flavor depth.
  5. Pour the crushed biscuits into the melted chocolate mixture. Fold everything together with a spoon until all biscuit pieces are coated and the mixture looks thick and glossy.
  6. Transfer the mixture into your prepared tray. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to press it down firmly and evenly, creating a smooth, compact surface.
  7. Refrigerate the tray for at least 2 hours or until the slice is firm and set. For quicker results, pop it in the freezer for about 1 hour, but keep an eye on it to prevent over-freezing.
  8. Once set, lift the slice out of the tray using the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to cut into squares or rectangles, wiping the blade between cuts for clean edges.
  9. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months; thaw in the fridge before serving.

Notes

For a more indulgent touch, sprinkle chopped nuts or dried fruit on top before chilling. Wipe your knife between cuts for perfectly clean slices.
