Do I have a treat for you guys today! Today’s recipe consists of broken Digestive biscuit pieces, mini marshmallows, and lots and lots of dark chocolate. What’s not to love??

This no-bake, indulgent treat is super quick and easy to make. Prepped in about 15 minutes, and left to set in the fridge for 2 – 3 hours. This is the perfect treat to serve when you don’t want to turn on the oven on a hot summer’s day, and everyone will love it!

Ingredients for Chocolate Fridge Cake:

  • dark chocolate (or milk, or semi-sweet!)
  • unsalted butter
  • golden syrup
  • digestive bisuits
  • mini marshmallows

To make this no-bake chocolate dessert, simply melt together the chocolate, butter, and golden syrup. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Next, stir in the crushed biscuits and marshmallows, then spread out into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper or foil. Chill until completely set – about 2 – 3 hours.

To get a nice, thick layer of chocolate on top (as pictured), simply reserve a little of the chocolate mixture (before adding biscuits), then spread it on top once everything is in the pan.

One of the BEST chocolate desserts you’ll ever try. I promise!

This is probably the easiest cake I have ever made, the yummiest and the most decadent. The marshmallows are a lovely hidden surprise. Believe it or not, my parents demand I make this at least once a month. Thank you Marsha!

My mom makes something very similar to this but without the marshmallows - I like that addition! Hope all is well with you!
