Prep Time:10 minutes
Chill time:4 hours
Total Time:4 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 x 250 g blocks Whittaker’s Creamy Milk Chocolate
  • 75 g mini marshmallows
  • ¾ cup plain salted roasted peanuts
  • 1 cup diced soft lollies such as raspberries, blackberries, chopped snakes or frogs
  • festive sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Line an approximately 28 × 18cm brownie tin or similar-sized dish with baking paper.
  • Break the chocolate into smaller pieces and melt using either a bain-marie or microwave. Bain-marie: Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir until smooth. Microwave: Heat the chocolate in 15-second bursts, stirring between each one, until completely melted and smooth. Cool the chocolate down for a few minutes before adding to the rest of the ingredients. You do this by stirring the chocolate gently. Don't let it set too hard though.
  • Add the marshmallows, peanuts and chopped lollies to a large bowl.
  • Pour over the warm melted chocolate and gently fold everything together until evenly coated.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared tin and spread into an even layer. Don't spread it too thinly if you prefer chunkier pieces.
  • Add festive sprinkles, if using, then refrigerate for 3–4 hours or until completely firm.
  • Once set, remove from the tin and cut into approximately 15–18 pieces. Serve chilled or allow it to come towards room temperature before serving if you prefer a slightly softer texture.
