Ingredients

FOR THE BASE
  • 3 ounces semi sweet (dark - good quality) chocolate (90 grams)
  • 1/2 cup butter (112 grams)
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive cookie crumbs) (375 grams)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts* (63 grams)
  • 1/2 cup flaked coconut (47 grams)
FOR THE TOPPING
  • 1/2 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips (90 grams)
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows (if you can't find mini, then just cut the large ones into small pieces) (75 grams)
  • 1/2 cup flaked coconut (47 grams)
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts* (60 grams)
  • 1/2 can sweetened condensed milk (200 grams)
*You can use walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans or even almonds. I used walnuts.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees (180 degrees celsius). Line an 8 x 8 inch (20 x 20cm) square pan with parchment paper.
FOR THE BASE
  1. Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a pot of boiling water (or microwave), stirring occasionally until melted. Once it is melted, add the crumbs, nuts and coconut mix well.
  2. Add to the prepared cake pan and press the crumbs down evenly in the pan to form the base. If you find the crumb base too crumbly add a bit more melted butter (2 -3 tablespoons more).
FOR THE FILLING
  1. On top of the base sprinkle first the, marshmallows, then the coconut, nuts and chocolate chips, lastly drizzle with the sweetened condensed milk, as evenly as possible.
  2. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the marshmallows start to turn golden. Remove from oven and let cool. Refrigerate for about an hour to make cutting easier. Enjoy!

Notes

  • A trick I learned is to crumple the parchment paper, then wet it, shake out the excess water and then line the pan. Stays in place perfectly.
