If you’re craving chocolate but hate the heat, whip up a chocolate biscuit bar that sets in the fridge in minutes. All you need is a tin, a bag of digestive biscuits, a jar of dark chocolate, and a splash of milk.
Start by crushing the biscuits in a bowl—keep them chunky; that bite makes the bars feel indulgent. For an extra twist, toss in a handful of chopped hazelnuts or a sprinkle of sea salt before mixing.
Melt 200 g of dark chocolate over a double boiler or in a microwavable bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until silky smooth. Stir in a tablespoon of milk to loosen the glaze, then fold in the crushed biscuits until everything is evenly coated.
Press the mixture firmly into a lined tin, smoothing the top with a spatula. Slide the tin into the fridge for at least two hours, or until the chocolate hardens into a firm slab. When it’s set, lift the slab out and slice into bars.
Serve the bars with a cup of chai or coffee, or keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you’re feeling adventurous, swap the dark chocolate for milk chocolate or add a dash of vanilla extract for extra aroma. The result? A silky, crunchy treat that satisfies without the fuss of an oven.
