Ingredients
100g Unsalted Butter
4 tbsp Golden Syrup
250g Dark Chocolate, broken into pieces
8 Digestive Biscuits, roughly crushed
125g Raisins or Sultanas
3 balls Stem Ginger, chopped
30g Shelled Pistachios, chopped
Method
1
Line a 20x20cm square cake tin with baking paper.
2
Put the butter, golden syrup and chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, taking care that the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl. Stir gently until just melted. Set aside to cool.
3
In a separate bowl, mix the biscuits, raisins and half the stem ginger. Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the biscuit mixture and combine gently.
4
Pour into the prepared tin and scatter over the pistachios and remaining stem ginger. Chill in the fridge for at least 3 hrs. Cut into 25 squares before serving. If you score the top just as it is setting it will be easier to cut later. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
