Why You’ll Love This Recipe:
- No oven required
- Only 6 basic ingredients
- Ready in 20 minutes
- Make-ahead friendly
- Kid-approved and foolproof
Ingredients:
- 200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
- 100g milk chocolate, chopped
- 150g unsalted butter, cubed
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp honey or golden syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 300g digestive biscuits (or graham crackers), roughly broken
- Optional: 100g mixed nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts, or almonds), roughly chopped
Instructions:
- Prep your pan: Line an 8×8 inch (20cm) square pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- Melt the chocolate: In a heatproof bowl set over simmering water (double boiler method), melt both chocolates and butter together. Stir occasionally until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat.
- Add flavor: Whisk in cocoa powder, honey, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Mix: Add the broken biscuits (and nuts if using) to the chocolate mixture. Fold gently until every piece is coated in that rich chocolate goodness.
- Press and chill: Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon or spatula to compact everything evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Serve: Lift out using the parchment overhang. Slice into squares or bars. Dust with cocoa powder or drizzle with melted chocolate if you’re feeling fancy!
Chef’s Tips:
- Don’t over-crush the biscuits – you want chunks for texture
- For cleaner slices, run your knife under hot water between cuts
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week (if it lasts that long!)
- Freeze for up to 3 months – just thaw in the fridge overnight
Enjoy your decadent, no-bake masterpiece! 🍰✨
