Serves:
A lot! Depends how big you want the bars – I cut them into approximately 24 pieces
Ingredients
50g raisins
3-4 large bars of dark/dairy-free chocolate (e.g. Kinnerton)
150g free-from rich tea
150g dairy-free spread (e.g Pure sunflower spread/Vitalite)
3.5 tablespoons golden syrup (e.g. Lyle)
100g marshmallows
50g meringue
Method
1. Weigh out the ingredients
2. Add the meringue and biscuits to a food bag and crush with a rolling pin (leave some large bits)
3. Chop the marshmallows (unless you have the small ones)
4. Melt the dairy-free spread, chocolate and syrup stirring continuously over a medium heat
5. Once the mixture is melted – pour approximately 150ml into a jug for use later
6. Add in all of the other ingredients to the pan and stir together
7. Line a roasting tin/baking tray (preferably with sides) with foil and pour in the mixture from the pan.
8. Press it down with a knife to make it as even as possible
9. Pour over the remaining melted mixture from the jug to give it a smooth(ish) finish
10. Put into the fridge for at least 2 hours to chill
11. Chop into as many pieces as you wish – beware it is very rich! Yum!
Serving suggestion: Sprinkle a little icing sugar on the top to make them look pretty
This dish is also low FODMAP (as long as you get marshmallows that do not contain glucose-fructose syrup).
