Chocolate Biscuit Bars Recipe
Ingredients:
- 200g (about 7 oz) digestive biscuits or graham crackers, broken into pieces
- 100g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
- 200g (7 oz) dark chocolate, chopped (or use milk chocolate if you prefer)
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup (or corn syrup)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts) – optional
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Biscuit Base:
- Break the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into small pieces. You can do this by hand or place them in a zip-lock bag and crush them lightly with a rolling pin. Leave them in irregular, chunky pieces.
- If you’re using nuts or marshmallows, chop the nuts and add them to the biscuit pieces along with the mini marshmallows. Set this mixture aside.
2. Make the Chocolate Mixture:
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), or you can melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between.
- Stir the mixture until smooth and fully melted.
- Add the golden syrup (or corn syrup), powdered sugar (if using), and vanilla extract (if using) to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir until everything is well combined and smooth.
3. Combine Biscuit and Chocolate Mixture:
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the broken biscuits (and nuts/marshmallows, if using). Stir gently to coat the biscuits evenly with the chocolate, making sure not to crush the biscuit pieces too much.
4. Set the Bars:
- Line an 8×8-inch (or 9×9-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Transfer the chocolate-biscuit mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press the mixture down firmly, creating a solid, even layer.
5. Chill and Set:
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate biscuit bars to set for at least 2 hours, or until they are firm and fully chilled.
6. Slice and Serve:
- Once the bars are set, remove them from the fridge and lift the entire mixture out of the pan using the parchment paper (if you used it).
- Cut the chocolate biscuit bars into squares or rectangles.
- Serve and enjoy!
Tips:
- Storage: Store the chocolate biscuit bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Customization: You can mix in your favorite ingredients like dried fruit, seeds, or even a sprinkle of sea salt for extra flavor.
- Chocolate Choice: You can use any type of chocolate you prefer—dark, milk, or even white chocolate. For a creamier texture, you could mix half dark chocolate and half milk chocolate.
These Chocolate Biscuit Bars are a perfect no-bake treat with a delightful crunch and rich chocolate flavor. They’re easy to make, super customizable, and are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth! Enjoy!
