Chocolate Squares --No Baking Required

This is a more recent addition to the stollen goods family, but seems to have avid followers among the inner circle.

250 ml butter
175 ml Lyles Golden Syrup (British product similar to corn syrup)
250 ml. chocolate chips
300 g. digestive cookies made into crumbs and chunks

300g. good quality chocolate, toblerone, or any favourite
(I use Lindt Milk Chocolate)

Line an 8 x 8 square pan with plastic wrap, ( I would double it)  up the sides, leaving an overhang.

Melt butter and combine with syrup over low heat.  Add chocolate chips, stir until melted. Stir in cookie crumbs.  Pour mixture into prepared 8 x 8 pan, and refrigerate until set.  Melt chocolate bar(s) over low heat and pour over base.  Refrigerate until set. Remove from pan using plastic wrap overhang, and cut into small squares. 
You can use other types of cookie, ie. Peek Frean shortbread, etc.

This recipe could probably be made using a microwave to melt the butter and chocolate, so as long as there is somewhere cold to put the pan to set up, this definitely has dorm room possibilities. ;)
