INGREDIENTS

125g butter
1 tablespoon golden syrup or honey
1 cup (170g) raisins or chopped dates
¾ cup (165g) brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
250g chocolate biscuits, crushed
½ cup (60g) chopped pecans or walnuts
75g dark chocolate, broken

Chocolate topping:
150g dark chocolate, melted
30g copha

METHOD

Line a 19 by 29cm slice pan with baking paper. Melt butter and golden syrup in a saucepan on medium heat. Stir in raisins and sugar and bring to boil. Cool slightly and whisk in egg.

In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Stir in butter mixture. Press firmly into prepared pan. Chill for 30 minutes, until firm. Carefully lift out of pan.

To make chocolate topping, melt ingredients in a saucepan on low heat, stirring until smooth. Spread over slice. Chill for 10 minutes, until firm. Cut into squares and serve with coffee or tea, if you like. Store in fridge.
