This is what happens when there's a snow day and your children are home. Butter, chocolate and cookies. These are the ultimate children's comfort treat (adults quite like them too). The only problem is you have to wait a couple of hours to let them set, which is a test of self control. This started off as a Nigella Lawson recipe, she suggested using mini marshmallows which I'm sure would have been fantastic but I didn't have any and they were still wonderful and everyone had a smile on their face, how often can you say that!
I suppose you could add all sorts of goodies if you felt the need, pistachios, dried cherries, cashews, the list is endless....
Chocolate Cookie Crunchy Snowy Day Treats.
10 oz chocolate chips
1/4 cup of corn syrup
1 stick of butter
3/4 of a packet of Rich Tea Biscuits
Melt the chocolate, corn syrup and butter together until smooth. Set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture.
Bash the cookies until the are in lumps and crumbs. Add to the chocolate mixture in the pan.
Pour the chocolatey cookie mixture into a 8 inch non stick pan. Smooth out as best you can.
Pour over the reserved chocolate and smooth over the top.
Place the pan in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Dust with confectioner's sugar and cut into squares.
