Bite Me!

My friend Amy is a bit of a whizz at baking, and when she made these for a friend's birthday I simply had to grab the recipe from her.  Unfortunately, my inexpert photography made these slices look like big piles of poo, so you'll just have to imagine them in all their gooey, chocolatey, crunchy gorgeousness.  Be warned - if you take them to a party they'll vanish in seconds.  This is probably a good thing; they are so delicious that otherwise you'll carry on eating them until you feel sick. 

Ingredients

125g/4½oz butter
250g/9oz plain chocolate, broken into pieces
3tbsp golden syrup
2tbsp cocoa powder
2tbsp caster sugar
100g/4oz-ish Maltesers
100g/4oz-ish milk chocolate drops
100g/4oz-ish mini marshmallows
225g/8oz Rich Tea biscuits broken into pieces

Method

1. Line a 10in square cake tin with greaseproof paper (I just did the bottom which worked fine).
2. In a big heavy-based pan heat the butter, plain chocolate, golden syrup, caster sugar, cocoa powder and stir together with a wooden spoon. Once melted together leave to cool for 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, break the biscuits into smallish pieces in a food bag with a rolling pin.
4. After 10 mins is up mix the biscuit pieces, Maltesers, chocolate chips and mini marshmallows in with the chocolate sauce.
5. Spoon into the lined tin, smooth the surface and leave to set in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours.
6. Remove from cake tin by loosening the sides with a knife and then turning tin upside down and bashing hard. Don't worry about it breaking, it comes out in one piece.
7. Slice into bars - should make about 24, I think (3x8).
