Ingredients
- 150g salted butter, cubed, plus extra for the tin
- 200g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
- 75g golden syrup
- 2 tsp mixed spice
- 2 oranges, zested
- 200g ginger biscuits
- 100g dried cranberries
- 100g pistachios, roughly chopped
- 75g mini marshmallows
- edible gold lustre (optional)
Method
- STEP 1
Butter and line a 20cm loose-bottomed square baking tin with baking paper. Put the butter, chocolate, golden syrup, mixed spice and orange zest in a large heatproof bowl. Fill a pan a quarter full of boiling water and put over a medium heat. Put the bowl over the pan so it’s not touching the water and stir until it gently melts together.
- STEP 2
Put the biscuits into a bag and crush with a rolling pin so there are some larger chunks. Tip into the melted chocolate mixture, along with the cranberries, pistachios and marshmallows, and stir so everything is coated.
- STEP 3
Tip the mixture into the lined baking tin and press down so it’s even. Put in the fridge to set for 3-4 hrs or overnight, or in the freezer for 1 hr.
- STEP 4
Dust with some gold lustre, if you like, slice and serve.
