CHOCOLATE SLICE - NO COOKING


This is a yummy slice. The first time I have made it. It goes extremely well with a short black coffee. No cooking involved, only melting the chocolate. The rest is done in the fridge overnight!! 

INGREDIENTS
50g butter, plus extra for greasing
50g raisins
2 Tbsp brandy
150g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
150g milk chocolate, broken into pieces
2 Tbsp golden syrup
175g wheatmeal or digestive biscuits, roughly broken
50g flaked almonds, lightly toasted
50g glacé cherries, chopped

Topping
225g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
25g butter


METHOD:
Grease the bottom and sides of a 18cm square cake tin. Line with baking paper.
Place the raisins and brandy on a bowl and soak for 30 minutes.


Put the almonds in a pan and toast until lightly brown. Reserve.


Put the butter, chocolate and golden syrup in a saucepan. 


Heat gently until melted.


Break the biscuits.


Chop the cherries.


Add the cherries and the almonds to the chocolate.


Stir in the raisins and brandy.


Add the biscuits and mix well. Turn into the prepared tin and cool, then cover and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.


To make the topping, put the butter and the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl.


Melt over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Stir and pour the chocolate mixture over the biscuit base.


Chill in the fridge for 8 hours or overnight.


Cut into bars or squares to serve.


Makes 16-24 pieces
