Really quick to make and the taste is great!!!
- 125g (41/2 oz) uns alted butter
- 75g (3oz) golden syrup
- 200g (7oz) 72% Cooks' Chocolate, broken into pieces
- 1 egg
- 50g (2oz) digestive biscuits
- 50g (2oz) whole walnuts
- 50g (2oz) sultanas
- 50g (2oz) glacé che rries, reserving a few for decoration
- Line the loaf tin with greaseproof paper or baking parchment and set aside.
- Melt the butter and syrup together in a small saucepan over a gentle heat until they begin to boil.
- Melt
the chocolate in a heatproof bowl suspended over a saucepan of barely
simmering water, then mix thoroughly with the butter and golden syrup. - Pasteurise the egg by beating it slowly and continuously into the hot chocolate mixture.
- Break up the biscuits into large chunks; remember, they will be broken further when mixed, so don't make them too small.
- Add the walnuts, sultanas and most of the cherries.
- Pour the chocolate mixture on to the dry ingredients and mix together with a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Press the mixture into the tin and decorate with reserved glacé cherries.
- Leave to set in the fridge for about 4 hours. Remove from the fridge, peel off the paper and cut into slices or cubes.
- Serve chilled.
