Grease the baking tray and line it with baking parchment. Gently heat the butter, sugar, cocoa and syrup in a pan large enough to take all the ingredients. Fold in the biscuits and stir over the heat for about 1 minute. Press the cake mixture firmly into the tray. It might be quite hot so use the end of a wooden spoon and not your fingers. Chill for 2 hours before breaking into slices. This is best kept in the fridge so that it won't be too messy to eat with your hands.

Show more commentsI had to double the chocolate sauce in this. However I did not use the biscuit mentioned but rich tree and ginger biscuits...not sure if this made a difference.
