Ingredients

  • 8 oz digestive biscuits or graham crackers
  • 1 stick 125 g butter
  • cup honey
  • 5 oz chocolate with hazelnuts milk or dark, with at least 50% cocoa solids
  • 2.5 oz dark chocolate at least 70% cocoa solids
  • cup whole toasted hazelnuts
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • Line a shallow dish of about 10 x 8 inches (25 x 20 cm) with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Leave an overhang on each side, so you will be able to lift the fridge cake easily out of the dish later on.
  • Roughly crush the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into small pieces.
  • Put the butter in a medium pan over low heat. As soon as it starts to melt, add the honey and both chocolates. Keep over the heat until you can see the chocolate melting into a puddle, then turn off the range, and leave for about 5 minutes. Everything should melt smoothly in the residual heat. Stir gently to mix.
  • Add the digestive biscuits or graham cracker pieces, the hazelnuts, and a pinch of flaky sea salt. Stir until everything is well-coated in the chocolate.
  • Tip into the prepared dish, and use a potato masher to tamp it down, until roughly flattened. Cover, and put into the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until solid.
  • Turn out carefully, peel off the parchment paper, and cut into squares or long slices. Eat quickly, cold from the fridge, before it melts.
