Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g dark chocolate good quality, chopped
  • 50 g unsalted butter room temperature for melting
  • 2 tbsp honey or golden syrup
  • 100 g mixed nuts toasted
  • a pinch sea salt flaky, for sprinkling

Equipment

  • Baking pan with parchment
  • Heatproof Bowl
  • Spatula
  • Knife
  • Saucepan or double boiler

Method
 

  1. Line your baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring there’s some overhang for easy lifting later.
  2. Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and set aside.
  3. Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan with simmering water, making sure the bottom doesn't touch the water.
  4. Gently stir the chocolate as it melts, watching for a smooth, glossy consistency. Once fully melted, remove from heat.
  5. Toast the mixed nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly golden, about 3-5 minutes. Let them cool slightly, then roughly chop.
  6. Add the butter and honey to the melted chocolate, stirring until the mixture is smooth and shiny.
  7. Fold in the toasted nuts and a pinch of flaky sea salt, mixing until evenly coated.
  8. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and press down gently for a compact finish.
  9. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt over the top for extra flavor and visual appeal.
  10. Place the pan in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until the slice is firm and set. For quicker results, freeze for about 1 hour.
  11. Once set, lift the slice out of the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into squares with a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts for neat edges.
  12. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy the chewy, crunchy texture of this nostalgic treat with its glossy, chocolatey finish.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle with dried cherries or drizzle with melted white chocolate before chilling.
