Equipment

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 200 g Digestive Biscuits or Graham Crackers, crushed
  • 50 g Gingernut Biscuits crushed
  • 200 g Dark Chocolate broken into pieces
  • 100 g Milk Chocolate broken into pieces
  • 100 g Butter
  • 150 g Golden Syrup
  • ½ teaspoon Orange Zest
  • 100 g Smarties or other chocolate candy

Instructions

  • Line a 20cm square baking tin with clingfilm
  • Place the chocolate, syrup and butter in a microwaveable bowl and melt in the microwave (I do short 20 second bursts and stir, to prevent overcooking)
    200 g Dark Chocolate, 100 g Milk Chocolate, 100 g Butter, 150 g Golden Syrup
  • Mix the melted chocolate mixture with the crushed biscuits, orange zest and candy.
    200 g Digestive Biscuits, 50 g Gingernut Biscuits, ½ teaspoon Orange Zest, 100 g Smarties
  • Press into the prepared tin and chill for at least 2 hours, before cutting into squares.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

  • Press firmly into the tin to help the cake hold together when slicing.
  • Chill thoroughly for at least 2–3 hours (ideally overnight) for best texture.
  • Leave some biscuit chunks rather than crushing everything finely for better texture.
  • Customise freely — different biscuits or add-ins won’t affect the set.
  • Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before cutting for neat slices.
  • Store chilled in an airtight container and freeze for longer storage.
