to serve 4:
2 oz
butter
1 oz
sugar
1 tablespoon
golden syrup (or maple syrup)
1 tablespoon
cocoa powder (or drinking chocolate)
8 oz
plain biscuits
5 oz
plain chocolate
How to Cook Mum's Chocolate Crunch Cake
- Gently melt the butter, sugar and syrup together in a pan (do not allow to boil) then stir in the cocoa powder or drinking chocolate. Break the biscuits into small pieces and add them to the pan. Mix well then press the ingredients into a greased cake tin (preferably one with a removable bottom, or a springform tin).
- Leave overnight to set (I leave mine in the fridge, but it's not essential). Next day, melt the chocolate gently in a pan (or microwave) and spread it over the crunch cake. Leave in the fridge for an hour for the chocolate to set.

Sally's Short-lived Shortbread
This shortbread is scrummy, more-ish and terrible for your waistline. It also encourages you to sneak into the fridge when no-one is looking.
