Ingredients

• 300 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 60 grams unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons golden syrup (or light corn syrup)
• 150 grams mini marshmallows
• 150 grams digestive biscuits (or graham crackers), roughly crushed
• 100 grams mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts), roughly chopped
• 50 grams dried cranberries (or raisins)
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some excess hanging over the edges for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (or use a microwave in 30-second intervals), melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and golden syrup together. Stir until smooth and fully combined.

Step 3

Remove the melted chocolate mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly for 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mini marshmallows, crushed digestive biscuits, chopped mixed nuts, and dried cranberries.

Step 5

Pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients. Gently fold everything together until fully coated in the chocolate.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, pressing it down evenly with a spatula to ensure the mixture is compact and level.

Step 7

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Step 8

Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the block out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut into 12 bars or smaller bite-sized pieces if preferred.

Step 9

Optional: Lightly dust the bars with powdered sugar before serving for a decorative touch.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
