Ingredients · 8 servings
- 300 gChocolate, broken into pieces
- 250 gCookie, roughly crushed
- 125 gButter, cubed
- 60 gGolden syrup
Equipment
stovetop, refrigerator, saucepan, heatproof bowl, mixing spoon, 20 cm square tin, parchment paper, spatula, mixing bowl, knife, cutting board, serving plate
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients
Gather and weigh the chocolate, cookies, butter, and golden syrup, then set out a saucepan, bowl, spoon, tin, parchment, and spatula. · 8 min
What to look for: All ingredients are measured and tools are within reach
- Line Tin
Line a 20 cm square tin with parchment, then break cookies into rough chunks so the cake keeps a crisp, speckled texture. · 5 min
What to look for: The tin is fully lined and the cookies are in uneven bite size chunks
- Melt Chocolate
Melt the butter, golden syrup, and chocolate in a bowl set over gently simmering water, stirring until glossy and smooth. · 5 min
What to look for: The mixture is shiny, fluid, and free of unmelted chocolate pieces
- Fold Cookies
Fold the cookie chunks into the melted chocolate mixture until every piece is coated but the biscuits are not crushed to crumbs. · 3 min
What to look for: Cookie pieces are evenly covered with chocolate and still visibly chunky
- Chill Slab
Press the mixture into the lined tin, level the top with a spatula, and chill until firm enough to slice cleanly. · 2 h
What to look for: The top looks set and the slab feels firm when lightly pressed
- Slice Serve
Lift the slab from the tin, cut it into 8 squares with a warm knife, and serve chilled for a firm snap and creamy bite. · 4 min
What to look for: Each square holds its shape with visible cookie pieces in the chocolate

Ingredient substitutions
Chocolate
- Milk chocolate: Gives a sweeter and creamier slab than plain chocolate
Cookie
- Digestive biscuit: A very British choice that keeps the classic crunchy texture
Butter
- Salted butter: Adds a slightly more rounded sweet and salty finish
Golden syrup
- Sugar syrup: Use only if golden syrup is unavailable, as the caramel note will be lighter
