Chocolate Crunch Cake (No Bake)

"This was my friend Anna's "secret recipe" for years before she finally revealed all! She used to make it every birthday/Christmas/holiday for all our friends. It's so easy to make a really yummy. Great for pot luck dinners or parties. This is the basic recipe but you add all sorts of things to it - dried fruit, nuts, marshmallows, or cherries work well too."

  • 4 ounces butter
  • 14 ounces condensed milk
  • 8 ounces digestive biscuits (broken)

directions

  • Line a cake tin with clingfilm/greaseproof paper. I vary the tin depending on the event - a loaf-style cake is better for home use, cookie trays are easier for slicing up for a pot luck, or a regular round cake tin is fine if you're using the cake for a birthday.
  • Melt the chocolate and butter in a large heatproof bowl (either over a pan of simmering water, or you can nuke it in the microwave in 10-second bursts).
  • Pour the condensed milk into the chocolate and butter mixture and beat together until creamy.
  • Add the broken biscuits and mix well.
  • Pour the mixture into the cake tin and press it well into the corners.
  • Leave to cool a little then refrigerate until set (it usually takes at least 2 hours depending on how cold your fridge is).

  1. The easiest and most amazing cake. Used this as our second Birthday cake and everybody loved it. I left my biscuits in quite large peices and it looked great on the side TY for a hit Wendy & Bob
     
  2. This is just how our neighbour use to make their fudge. A great recipe for little helpers to make. My 3 year old was so proud of herself to think that *she* made this. I used the microwave to zap the chocolate and butter together and added a good handful of sultanas. Fabulous no cook fudge.
     
  3. Awesome little treat. I scaled this down a whole lot and used a mixture of shortbread and graham crackers broken up since I cant find digestive biscuits here. Took about 3 hours to firm up completly. I uses a mixture of chocolate too. Excellent dessert!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Aloha! I'm 29 years old and from the UK. My other half calls me his 1950's housewife because I just love to bake, preserve and cook in general! After studying catering at college I decided commercial cookery wasn't for me but I still like nothing more than discovering new dishes, throwing dinner parties and so on! I work on the recruitment side of a quantity surveying consultancy about 25 miles north of London. I love my job. It's hard work but fast paced, challenging and my work day just flies by. With regards to how I rate recipes, I try and keep it fair and to the system. I do my best to give no lower than 3 stars but will do on occasion if I made something as directed and it still ended up in the bin. I've never given 1 star but on occasion I'll leave no stars if I suspect something went horribly wrong. Most recipes get rated at 3/4 stars because 5 stars is reserved for spectacular recipes that become frequent users and a family favourite. Everyone has their own rating systems and that doesn't offend me. Rate my recipes as you see fit - I know what I like and what I don't and I'm here to fill my recipe book (filling anyone elses is merely an advantage), not to win a popularity competition or become chef of the year.
