Chocolate Biscuit Cake

This dessert is so simple to make and doesn't need to go in the oven, just melt your butter and syrup, melt in chocolate, and then add in the crushed, cookies, raisins, and candied cherries. Let it set in the fridge and you are good to go. I used to make it in a round cake pan or a loaf pan, but it can be tricky to cut, so using a 9-inch square pan is now my favourite process.The cake has evolved into bars with this method, but it means I can cut smaller pieces for a mini treat, which I certainly recommend.
