What You’ll Need

• Digestive biscuits: 200g, crushed to bits, creating a lovely crumbly base.
• Butter: 100g, melted, and oh-so-creamy for that rich texture.
• Golden syrup: 100g, because we need that sticky sweetness.
• Sweetened condensed milk: 397g, the secret to that gooey layer!
• Dark chocolate: 200g, melted, for that decadent coating.
• Light brown sugar: 150g, adding that extra depth of flavor.

Easy How-To

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Alright, start by making sure you have everything lined up—trust me, it makes the process so much smoother. You don’t want to be running around hunting for something halfway through, right?

Step 2: Prepare the Base

Now, in a big mixing bowl, throw in those crushed biscuits and mix with the melted butter, just until combined. It should feel a little crumbly but hold together when pressed… it’s like building a delicious foundation!

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk the golden syrup and condensed milk together until they’re, um, really well combined. It’s gonna be a thick, sweet mixture that feels like magic—just keep whisking!

Step 4: Combine Mixtures

Pour that sweet mix into the biscuit base and stir, stir, stir until it turns into this thick batter… oh gosh, it smells divine already!

Step 5: Add Extras

If you’re feeling adventurous, add in some chopped walnuts or even chocolate chips. Whatever floats your boat, really. Fold them in gently so you don’t lose that lovely consistency.

Step 6: Prepare the Baking Pan

Line a baking pan with parchment paper—it makes for easy lifting later. You wanna leave a bit hanging over the sides, like a little handle, so it’s easier to pull out.

Step 7: Pour the Mixture

Transfer that beautiful batter into the pan and spread it out evenly. A spatula works great here, just be gentle so you don’t mess up all that hard work!

Step 8: Bake the Bars

Pop the pan into a preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye on it, but you want a nice golden brown on top.

Step 9: Cool the Bars

Let those bars chill out for a bit after you take them out. Let them cool completely, otherwise, things might get a bit messy when you cut them…

Step 10: Cut Into Squares

Using the parchment paper, lift them out and cut them into squares. I usually go for generous pieces, but you do you!

Step 11: Store the Bars

Keep the bars in an airtight container, tucked away in a cool spot, so they stay fresh and chewy. You’ll love having these around!

Good to Know

• Adjust sweetness to your liking; sometimes, less is more, depending on your taste!
• These bars keep quite well, but if you want, throw them in the fridge for an extra chewy texture.
• If you’ve got dietary restrictions, don’t sweat it! There are always alternatives that can fit in!

Serving Ideas

• Serve with a lovely cup of tea or coffee—trust me, they pair perfectly!

Top Tricks

• For a glossy chocolate coating, melt it slowly using a double boiler.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do the mini bars last?

They can last about a week stored right, but good luck keeping them around that long…

Can I substitute ingredients?

Absolutely! Use what you have on hand, or what you really like. Baking is as much about flexibility as it’s about following a recipe.

Do I need to use specific types of nuts?

Not at all! Use what you enjoy or have in your pantry. Just try to chop them to a similar size for even mixing.

Can I make these bars vegan?

Yes, definitely! Swap for plant-based options—coconut oil for butter and dairy-free chocolate. Seriously, it works so well!

Is it necessary to use a food processor?

Not really! Just mixing by hand works fine too, it may take a bit more elbow grease but it’s totally doable.
