Ingredients

Metric - US Customary

  • 100 g Smarties or other chocolate candy

Instructions

  • Line a 20cm square baking tin with clingfilm

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

Variations:
  • This is a great base recipe that you can vary, depending on what ingredients you have in stock.
  • You could replace the dark and milk chocolate with white chocolate, and make a white chocolate fridge cake (dried cranberries go well with white chocolate).
  • Digestive biscuits could be swapped for Rich Tea or shortbread biscuits.
  • Chopped nuts and dried fruit like apricots or raisins, could also be added to the biscuit cake.
  • The most important thing is to have fun with it, because it’s a really fun cake to make, and eat!
