Ingredients
- 200g, crushed digestive biscuits
- 100g, melted unsalted butter
- 150g, roughly chopped honeycomb candy (Violet Crumble or similar)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 200g, chopped dark chocolate
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
Instructions
- Step 1: Line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine 200g crushed digestive biscuits and 100g melted unsalted butter. Stir until the mixture is evenly coated and resembles wet sand.
- Step 2: Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the base of the prepared pan to form an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set.
- Step 3: In a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, combine 200g chopped dark chocolate, 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, and 2 tbsp golden syrup. Stir continuously until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Step 4: Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and fold in 150g roughly chopped honeycomb candy pieces gently, preserving some crunch.
- Step 5: Pour the chocolate and honeycomb mixture evenly over the chilled biscuit base and spread to cover. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Step 6: Once set, cut into squares and serve chilled for a crunchy, sweet slice reminiscent of a classic Australian treat.
