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

  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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
