CHOCOLATE BISCUIT CAKE


1/2 lb. (~ 1/2 a normal sized packet) digestive biscuits

1/4 lb. (~ 100g) butter or marg.
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsps golden syrup
3 tbsps cocoa

1. Put the biscuits in a plastic bag and smash them up with a rolling pin, or anything else you can lay your hands on, until they are pretty much crumbs but with the odd lump here and there.
2. Melt the butter, sugar and syrup together untill all the sugar has dissolved.
3. Remove from the heat, add the cocoa and beat until the mixture goes shiny.
4. Add the crushed biscuits and then spread the mixture out onto a greased and/or lined baking tray and smooth the mixture with the back of a wooden spoon until (fairly) even.

(The mixture at this stage is almost as good as the resulting biscuits, so try not to eat it all.)

Chill until set
