Method

Chocolate Hedgehogs is a community recipe submitted by Casscat and has not been tested by Nigella.com so we are not able to answer questions regarding this recipe.

Heat butter, sugar and cocoa until cocoa dissolves (I actually cheated and did this step in the microwave, taking it out and stirring every 30 seconds for about 3-4 minutes, that way you only need one bowl to make the whole recipe in!)

Add egg and mix in well Add coconut, biscuits, nuts and sultanas making sure all are mixed in well before adding each next ingredient poor mixture into a brownie tin - 28 x 18 is good but it doesn't really matter - it just depends how chunky you want the slice to be!

Pop in fridge for an hour (or if in a fast fix of chocolate in the freezer for half the time) ice evenly with a ganache or chocolate icing and sprinkle with coconut.

Leave to set in fridge for as long as you can resist!

Additional Information

Feel free to add an anything that takes your fancy! Cranberries, different nuts, chocolate chunks - I'm sure it will all taste good!! (I am wanting to try it again soon with some of the butter replaced with peanut butter..mmmmm) Also, this is such an easy recipe - I barely measured anything other than the butter and it turned out just fine!
