Throughout the years I came across several, some were good but always there was something wrong like too sweet, or too much of an ingredient that I don't like or the entire recipe cost too much, not really worth the time and effort.
Surprisingly I found one in a children's cook book.
It's not ours, but a friends'- thank you very much Suzila for lending us the books!
I copied it down in such a rush that I forgot to take down the name of the book, author or even the real recipe's. I vaguely remember it as chocolate fridge something.
Some recipes use cocoa powder, milo, or marie biscuits but this one, uses digestive biscuits and
chocolate...melted choclate and golden syrup! YUMS!!
But you can use Marie Biscuits too, the chocolate or coffee ones are equally delicious.
So if you want, try out the recipe and believe me it is worth the while.
Chocolate Fridge Squares
source: Suzila's Children cook book.
Ingredients
200g chocolate (I used dark chocolate buttons)
100g butter
4 Tbsp Golden Syrup
225g (8 oz) Digestive Biscuits (I used the entire packet save one of the short Mc Vite's Digestive)
125g pistaschio (I used walnuts)
200g chopped dried apricots (I used dried cranberries)
Method
In a bowl over simmering water melt chocolate (if not using buttons or chips, chop the chocolate to smaller bits so that it melts quicker and easier), butter and golden syrup.
When the chocolate mixture is evenly melted take off fire.
Add the broken biscuits to the melted chocolate mixture and mix well.
Pour the mixture into a greased tin, I just lined a plastic wrap to cover the sides and bottom of the
cake tin for easier lifting and less greasy.
Spread the mixture evenly and pop into the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Once hardened, take out and cut into squares!
Happy Baking.
