If you've received feedback from circulating your list with any luck
you'll get more than one person choosing the same ingredients!
I'd use a tray bake, measuring 30 x 19 cms approx. One tray bake
divided into four portions and then each portion cut into small 1cm
squares will give a generous treat.
Take
a glance at the photo of the Rocky Road in Last
call … to
get an idea of the size. To give perspective, Nigella's
recipe
mentions 24 squares of treat in the final paragraph – these are
large, so scaled down you'll get a much larger quantity, it depends
on how small a square you cut. It doesn't matter – I don't think
anyone will be taking out their tape measure!
One final thought, you could mix it up completely and create a mixed
bag of Rocky Road, Malteser Cake and Chocolate Hokey Pokey.
Malteser
Cake
125g
unsalted butter
400g
milk chocolate, broken into small pieces
2
tbsp golden syrup
250g
digestives - crushed
135g
Maltesers
Line a
20cm tin with parchment.
Melt
the butter in a large pan, then add the chocolate and syrup until
melted.
Remove
the pan from the heat, allow to cool slightly then stir in the
biscuits and Maltesers. Pour into the tin and refrigerate for two
hours.
Cut
into squares.
Chocolate
Hokey-Pokey
75g
unsalted butter
100g
pecan halves, roughly chopped
sea
salt flakes
300g
dark chocolate
2
tbsp golden syrup
3 x
40g Crunchie bars
Heat a
small knob of butter in a pan and when foaming, tip in the pecans
with a pinch of sea salt flakes. Stir over a medium heat for 3-4
minutes or till toasted – you will smell them when they are ready.
Tip the nuts into a bowl and leave to cool.
Break
the chocolate into small pieces and melt, in a medium pan, with the
rest of the butter and the syrup, stirring. Once the chocolate
mixture is smooth, take the pan off the heat. Bash the Crunchie bars
(in the wrappers – less messy!). Add the Crunchie pieces, along
with the toasted pecans, to the chocolate mixture. Gently mix
together before transferring to an 18cm round or square foil tray (or
cake tin if you prefer to wash-up!)
Leave
to set in the fridge. Once set, remove from the tray and cut into
1cm squares.
Whatever
combination you choose bag, tag and bow – check out The
kit and the cost –
and away you go!
