Serves 12-24 (depending on serving size)
(Contains Nuts)
Ingredients:
200g Butlers 70% Dark Chocolate Bar, roughly broken
200g Butlers 40% Milk Chocolate Bar, roughly broken
150g unsalted butter
265g condensed milk
100g rich tea biscuits
100g digestive biscuits
50g marshmallows (large or mini)
50g pecan nuts, toasted
50g hazelnuts, toasted
50g walnuts
To finish
50g Butlers 70% Dark Chocolate Bar, to drizzle (optional)
Method
- Line a 2lb loaf tin with parchment paper
- Melt together milk and dark chocolate, butter and condensed milk in a heat resistant bowl set over a pot of barely simmering water, stir occasionally
- Roughly break up biscuits into a large bowl
- If using large marshmallows, use clean scissors to cute each into four pieces, add to biscuits, otherwise add mini marshmallows
- Add nuts and toss everything together
- Spread a large spoonful of melted chocolate mixture into the bottom of the lined tin
- Reserve a large spoonful of chocolate mixture then pour the rest of the chocolate mixture into the dry ingredients
- Toss together until all the dry ingredients are coated
- Spoon mixture into the loaf tin, pressing down firmly with the back of a strong spoon between spoons to make sure the mixture is compact, without air gaps
- Once all the mixture has been pressed into the tin, spread the reserved chocolate mixture over the top and smoothen
- Press a piece of parchment paper over the top then refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours
- Before serving, peel off parchment paper from surface then turn out from tin and peel away remaining parchment paper
Tip: It helps to use your thumbs to press firmly in the middle of the base of the tin, now facing up, to help release the airlock so that the chocolate biscuit cake slides out of the tin
- Melt 50g of the dark chocolate in the microwave in short 10-20 second bursts, removing from the microwave when there are still a few pieces of chocolate left whole. Stir until residual heat has melted the remaining chocolate
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the chocolate biscuit cake, leave to set before serving
- Best kept in an airtight container in the fridge
