Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g salted butter/ baking margarine
  • 500 g castor sugar
  • 4 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 pkts Marie biscuits

Equipment

  • Mixer/hand beaters
  • Wooden spoon essential for mixing the biscuit pieces into the mixture
  • Food processor or 1 very enthusiastic kid
  • Set of measuring spoons
  • Kitchen scale

Method
 

  1. Break biscuits into small pieces and set aside. The pieces must not be too big and also avoid crumbing the biscuits as this will be a disaster so blitz quickly in the food processor or keep an eye on the enthusiastic kitchen helper.
  2. Melt butter in a pot watching to see it doesn't catch.
  3. Add castor sugar and stir until dissolved (yes really).
  4. Add cocoa and stir in until mixed.
  5. Remove from the stove.
  6. Break 2 eggs into a cup or measuring jug so that they can be added quickly to the mixture.
  7. The mixture is still warm so beat it as you add the eggs to avoid the egg setting.
  8. Add broken pieces of biscuits and mix well to combine.
  9. Press into a greased pan and put in the fridge to set (this shouldn't take long)

Notes

You could add pieces of broken cherries or small marshmallows but not too many.
