No Bake Marie Biscuit Brownies Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 4 tablespoons condensed milk
• 80 grams milk chocolate
• spraying oil
• 100’s & 1000’s (sprinkles)

Method:

1. Prepare a 22 centimeter square casserole (or one that is of size that will add height to the brownies) by greasing it with spraying oil.

10. Place the Marie Biscuits into a plastic bag.
11. 
12. Use a rolling pin to crush over the biscuits until they’re broken but not too fine as you want them to remain in solid form & not turn into powder.
13. 
14. Next, add the room temperature butter or margarine to a large microwave safe bowl.
15. 
16. Heat the butter or margarine in the microwave for ± 30 seconds or until melted.
17. 
18. To the melted butter or margarine, add in the condensed milk & the golden syrup.
19. 
20. Add in the cocoa powder.

22. Once the butter has melted, add in the marshmallows.
23. 
24. Now it’s time to add in the chopped dates.
25. 
26. Give it a mix until the ingredients are well combined.
27. 
28. Throw in the crushed Marie Biscuits.

30. Mix well until the biscuits are coated in the mixture. I had to change up bowls as the first one wasn’t large enough.
31. 
32. 
33. Pour the mixture into the greased casserole & use a spatula or the back of a spoon to tightly compress the mixture.
34. 
35. Set that aside & add the milk chocolate to another microwave safe bowl.
36.

38. Heat the chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds. Remove & give it a stir. The chocolate should be partially melted.
39. 
40. Pop the bowl back into the microwave & heat for another 30 seconds.
41. 
42. Remove from the microwave & stir. It should be fully melted. Be sure to melt the chocolate at 30 second intervals at a time, stirring in in-between as this will prevent the chocolate from burning & becoming unusable.
43. 
44. Pour the melted chocolate over the compressed mixture in the casserole. Use the back of a spoon to spread the chocolate evenly.
