Ways to use up chocolate


A very useful page for all those who can't think what to do with their Easter stash of chocolate

Chocolate Fridge Cake (or what we used to call Broken Biscuit Cake): 

• 250g/8oz digestive biscuits
• 150g/5oz milk chocolate
• 150g/5oz dark chocolate
• 100g/3½oz unsalted butter
• 150g/5oz golden syrup
• 100g/3½oz dried apricots, chopped
• 75g/2½oz raisins
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• 60g/2oz pecans, chopped (optional)
  
  
  I'm not too keen on raisins and other dried fruit in these types of confection, so will perhaps just stick to the nuts.

  
  
  Incidentally, I made the above recently but didn't have lots of raisins and apricots so used a combination of raisins, sliced dates, dessicated coconut and sliced almonds.  It was pretty good.
  
  But I made too much of this mixture, so have been having it my porridge and it's a delicious combination (never would have though of putting coconut in porridge but it seems to work!).
