Solstice Chocolate Refrigerator Christmas Cake

sun sets on the Solstice

sun sets on the Solstice over the garden

You will need:

1 square cake tin,  greased

2 100g bars of good chocolate

1 tablespoon of margarine

1 tablespoon of golden syrup

1 200g pack of bourbon biscuits (other biscuits will do), bashed up

and here’s the Christmassy part… a crumbled slice of  Christmas cake including bits of marzipan and icing

a handful of raisins

Method:

Melt 1 bar of  chocolate in a Bain Marie (bowl over pan of hot water) along with the marg and syrup. Once nice and smooth, stir in your other ingredients and press mixture into tin.  Melt the other bar and spread on top. We topped with sugar stars… chill in fridge until set and cut into squares.

It’s gorgeous… quite different with the Christmas cake but very, very good and dangerously moreish :)
