Description

Instructions

1. A no-bake cake. Easy peasy to make and everyone loves it. I used ready roasted hazelnuts with their skins off, but if you prefer to roast your own: place the hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking tray and roast in a 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4 oven for 5 to 8 minutes or under the grill for 2 minutes until browned, checking regularly that they aren’t burning.

2. To make the cake, begin by lining a 20cm square tin with clingfilm, leaving bits overhanging the sides so you can lift the cake out easily.

3. Break the biscuits into small pieces, smaller than bite-sized, but not reduced entirely to crumbs.

4. Melt the chocolate, butter and golden syrup in a large heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the broken biscuits, then add the dried fruit, nuts and marshmallows.

5. Stir well, then pour into the prepared tin and refrigerate for 6 hours. Lift out of the tin and peel off the clingfilm. Cut into sixteen chunks. Watch people devour.
