MySpace Glitters

Barrie Summy had the fabulous idea of having a July 4th recipe exchange. So…… I live in NZ and we don’t celebrate 4th July…. and I don’t cook….. not a lot of hope for me then. But, suddenly I remembered chocolate biscuit cake, which is what I make on special occasions (not very often because I love it so much I can hardly draw breath without popping a piece in my mouth).

So….. Happy 4th July to all of you in the USA…… and if you make Chcolate Biscuit Cake I promise you won’t be disappointed. Sorry, all measurements are in imperial and not metric. Hopefully you’ll understand what all the ingredients are:

Chocolate Biscuit Cake

8oz of digesstive biscuits - crumbled very finely (I use the end of a rolling pin)

2oz butter or margarine (I use dairy free spread, just as good)

2 tablespoons of golden syrup

4½ oz plain (dark) cooking chocolate

Half an orange

 

Melt syrup, chocolate and butter in a pan. Stir in the biscuit. Put mixture into a greased tin. Press down all over with the cut side of the orange.

Leave to set. Cut in squares.

YUM!!!

   That sounds yummy! Way to get into the spirit of things, Sara! Now I’ll just have to ransack the ‘British Specialty’ section of my grocery store…

   Now that’s a good idea, Teri. Let me consult my travelling companion. The only trouble I suspect it might all get eaten on the journey!!!

   That sounds both easy and delicious. If Amanda doesn’t eat it on the way, then I’ll eat it in the limo.
