** I prefer the large marshmallows cut in four, I think they taste better than the mini ones.
Yummy (!) And just when I was trying to cut down on the chocolate; and the honey; and the cream…. etc…. Oh my!
Will be going away for a week in early July and another in early August and am trying to fit into my swimsuit.
On the other hand – there’s nothing to stop me taking another look at this recipe AFTER the holidays is there (?)…..heh heh!!
Geri – The recipe will still be there after your holidays! I hope they go well.
Grannymar,
I got up very early this morning and made this Chocolate Biscuit cake. It was so delicious I ate the whole thing myself.
Now I am in my doctor’s office waiting my turn for a shot of insulin…..Maybe two shots… Maybe a shot to take home for when I make this again tomorrow…
Poor Nancy! I promise not to tell your children… at a price! 🙄 I think you need to wean yourself slowly off this addiction. Very, very s l o w l y! 😀
Wicked!
No, not Nancy… the cake.
I fancy a slice of that right now. Is it ready yet, Grannymar?
Steph – None left. The server went down and when it came back the cake was gone! 🙄 I wonder which of my toyboys eat it?

This looks delicious. However being me, I’d have to cut out the butta (southern pronunciation), cream, syrup, Honeycomb Bars, & marshmallows. But then it wouldn’t be your CHOCOLATE BISCUIT CAKE.
BHB – I cannot eat it, but it never stops me making it for my guests!
Heart Attack on a Plate!
I couldn’t touch this but admire those who can!

WWW – The secret is to serve very small slices or squares.
Marianna – SHhhh! 😉 Chunchie Bars melt on your tongue!
I have made many variations of this , but how much biscuits do yu use in this recipe ?? I made a version for my brothers wedding… it is a family favourite..
Sandra – I use about 9 or 10 ounces of digestive biscuits. Sometimes I use a full packet and adjust the other ingredients. After a lifetime of cooking and baking with my mother it is very much go by look and feel of a mix.
I’m planing a party of all parties like the ones when u were younger and I gave just made this cake so excited just licked the spoon and now I can’t wait to eat the whole thing myself maybe I’ll just tell everyone that it didn’t turn out good and I had to put it in the bin ……..well if they look in the bin all there will be is crumbs hmmmmm I think it’s a plan xxx
