Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixture

- 100g unsalted butter
Add-ins
- 150g mini marshmallows
- 100g chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts)
- 100g dried cranberries
- 50g biscuits (crushed)
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a saucepan over low heat, gently melt the dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and unsalted butter, stirring frequently to ensure a smooth, combined mixture without burning.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the chocolate mixture to cool for a few minutes so it thickens slightly but remains pourable.
- Add Mix-ins: Stir in the mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, dried cranberries, and crushed biscuits until all pieces are well coated with the chocolate mixture.
- Spread Mixture: Pour the combined mixture into a baking dish lined with parchment paper or foil, spreading it evenly to form one uniform layer.
- Refrigerate: Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the dessert is fully set and firm to the touch.
- Serve: Once set, remove from the fridge, cut into squares, and serve chilled for a festive holiday treat.
Notes
- Use good quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- You can substitute nuts according to your preference or omit them to make the dessert nut-free.
- For extra festive flair, add a sprinkle of sea salt or drizzle white chocolate on top before chilling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- This dessert can be made a day ahead, making it perfect for holiday parties and gatherings.
