  • Serves 8+

Preparation

Total time
10 Mins
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)

  1. 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

  2. Melt the chocolate and the butter together on a low heat (or in the microwave) - once melted, add the condensed milk, mixing thoroughly

  3. Take the chocolate mixture off the heat and add in the digestive biscuit and all the other ingredients - mix well

  4. You can add as little or as much as you like of the other ingredients and vary it to suit your tastes

  5. 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!
