CHOCOLATE NUT SLICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C.
• In a small saucepan or a stainless steel bowl over a larger saucepan of simmering water, melt the butter and chocolate, stirring until combined.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs, yolk and sugar until pale.
• Fold in the chocolate mixture, flour and nuts until just combined.
• Spread the mixture into a greased tin (about 20cm x 20cm) and bake for about 25-30 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out moist (but not sticky and wet).
• Allow to cool in the tin before cutting into rectangles.

CHOCOLATE AND NUT SLICE

Steps:

• Break the milk chocolate into pieces and place in a heatproof bowl with the butter. Rest the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir frequently until melted.
• Meanwhile, dampen a 450g/1lb loaf tin (pan) and line the base and sides with clear film (plastic wrap). don't worry about smoothing out the creases in the film.
• When the chocolate has melted, remove it from the heat and leave for 5 minutes until cooled.
• Break the biscuits into very small pieces, then stir into the melted chocolate with the almonds. Add the chopped chocolate to the bowl, and fold in quickly and lightly.
• Turn the mixture into the tin and pack down with a fork. Tap the base of the tin gently on the work surface. Chill for 2 hours until set.
• To serve, turn the chocolate loaf on to a board and peel away the clear film. Dust lightly with the icing sugar and slice thinly.
