Chocolate Shortbread Slice

The easiest tray-bake ever, which is ideal for children to help with, as there is no baking involved. Just ensure an adult is present when melting the chocolate.

Chocolate Shortbread Slice
 
   

Ingredients

60g butter

125g dark chocolate, broken into pieces

160g Deans shortbread fingers, crumbled

45g glace cherries, halved

60g sultanas

150g milk chocolate, broken into pieces

20g white chocolate, broken into pieces

Line a 20cm square baking tin with baking parchment.

Melt the dark chocolate and butter in a pan over a low-medium heat. Once melted, stir in the crumbled biscuits, cherries and sultanas. Press into the prepared tin and refrigerate until set.

In the meantime, melt the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Once melted pour over the set shortbread base ensuring that all areas are covered and place back in the fridge to set.

To decorate, melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering pan, once melted pour the chocolate into a plastic food bag, snip off a small corner, and drizzle the chocolate all over the milk chocolate topping. Chill until set, slice and enjoy the fruits of your labours!
