Ingredients

100g butter

100g golden syrup

200g dark chocolate , chopped

100g milk chocolate , chopped

100g coconut Nice biscuits

80g dried banana chips

100g dried tropical fruit (we used mango and pineapple), roughly chopped

50g Brazil nuts , roughly chopped

50g mini marshmallows

50g desiccated coconut

1 ball stem ginger , finely chopped

Method

Line a 20 x 20cm baking tin with baking parchment. Put the butter, golden syrup, chocolate and a pinch of salt into a saucepan. Set over a low heat and gently melt, stirring from time to time, until you have a glossy liquid.

Crumble the biscuits and banana chips into a large bowl, leaving some pieces larger than others to create a bumpy texture. Add the dried fruit, nuts, marshmallows, coconut and ginger, and pour over the chocolate mixture. Stir well, ensuring that everything is well coated, then tip into the tin. Use a spoon to press the mixture down and level the surface.

Chill for at least 2 hrs or until firmly set. Cut into 16 squares and pack for a picnic. Store in a tin for up to 3 days.
