Ingredients

• 125g unsalted butter
• 85g golden syrup
• 200g dark chocolate
• 1 egg
• 55g digestive biscuits
• 55g nuts (hazelnuts, walnuts or any you prefer)
• 55g sultanas
• 55g glacé cherries (reserve some for decoration)

Instructions

1. Line the tin that you’re going to use with baking parchment. The mixture is enough to fill a 2lb loaf tin making 10 fairly deep, large slices. A tin of any similar size (round or square) could be used instead. If you double the ingredients you can make enough for a large traybake.
2. Melt the butter and syrup together in a saucepan over a gentle heat until they begin to boil
3. Melt the chocolate over a saucepan of simmering water, then add the egg and the butter & syrup. Mix together well
4. In a bowl, break the biscuits into large chunks and then add the nuts, sultanas and most of the cherries
5. Pour the chocolate mix onto the dry ingredients and stir until well combined
6. Press the mixture into the prepared tin and decorate with the reserved cherries
7. Leave to set in the fridge for at least 4 hours
