My Mum's Tray Bake

After E, slightly sniffley, told me these were too sweet, this Friday (well Monday, as Friday was canceled due to Typhon Nuri) these went down a storm - some people had four apparently. So, if you need a large tray bake for coffee or a tea party this is great. For added stickiness you can slightly caramalise the butter/sugar/syrup mixture if you have a bit of time.

Line a tray bake tin with baking paper and melt in a pan:

250g butter
100g caster sugar
4 tbsps golden syrup

when melted add:-

4 tbsp drinking chocolate
2 tbsp cocoa powder
500 g of a mixture of coconut biscuits and rich tea
100g Madeira cake crumbs
100g raisins (optional)

Press into the baking tray and chill for 1 hour

Then: melt in a pan
300g milk chocolate
20g butter

Spread over the cake mixture and when cold cut into fingers.
