- Preparation time
- 10 Mins
400g milk chocolate
400ml condensed milk
100g butter
200g marshmallows
200g glace cherries
100g chopped nuts (optional)
200g digestive biscuits
50g raisins (or sultanas)
Put the digestive biscuits in a thick plastic bag and roughly crush so that you end up with nice chunky biscuit pieces, then set aside
Melt the chocolate and the butter together on a low heat (or in the microwave) - once melted, add the condensed milk, mixing thoroughly
Take the chocolate mixture off the heat and add in the digestive biscuit and all the other ingredients - mix well
You can add as little or as much as you like of the other ingredients and vary it to suit your tastes
Tip the mixture into a tin lined with cling film (this well help you later!) - flatten out into the tin, and place in the fridge to set
You will need
Heat-resistant bowl - To melt butter and chocolate safely you will need a heat and thermal shock resistant bowl like this one from Pyrex. See more details here at Wilko.
Square baking tin - This non-stick and heavy gauge constructed biscuit/brownie tin is a kitchen must-have see more details here at Amazon.
Tips
This is absolutely perfect for cooking with kids. Even little ones can help crush the biscuits, and older kids can do most of it by themselves (with supervision), using the microwave. Let them use their imagination and come up with new ingredients to include, such as sweets, chopped-up chocolate bars or seeds.
Use chopped fruits for a slightly healthier cake!
