  Very easy and tasty recipe. I personally feel if you use too much dark chocolate it's too rich, so will use 2 bars milk and one bar dark next time.

  It would help with planning if gift suggestions had a timescale indicating how long they will keep

  Great and very sweet, next time I make it I'll add some marshmallows just to make it a little less dense.

  Made for presents .. very easy and didn't turn out too sweet for me. Used half and half choc and a mix of nuts and dried cranberries, wrapped them in cellaphane and ribbon and look lovely for gifts (very handy to keep in fridge and give out if you forget somebody!) Would make again

  Made this as a Christmas treat this year and was not disappointed! Was very rich but delicious. I would recommend using shortcake biscuits which just crumble as you eat them - blends perfectly with the chocolate mixture. I didn't use any fruit (personal preference) and will definitely make them again!

  Made a few times now, yummy with marshmallows added... I use mini marshmallows, glace cherries, raisins and a few broken up pecans as my nuts/dried fruit bit of the recipe.

  Whole family loved these... used 2 thirds milk choc and 1 third dark. Used shortcake and oaty biscuits, sultanas, cherries, mixed nuts and sunflower seeds. Admittedly eating 2 pieces straight off may result in nausea... but they are good!

  quite a few have said its very sweet, has anyone tried making them without the golden syrup? wouldn't the chocolate be enough to bind everything?

  I made these and they were delicious. I changed the golden syrup for honey and used half milk chocolate and half Nutela to make up the chocolate required. They were absolutely gorgeous! I have put half into the freezer, in small batches, so that I can pull them out as a regular treat! I will definitely make them again, thanks Good Food!

  Looks great and tastes wonderful. They didn't last very long at all with a few chocolate lovers in the house. great idea for christmas gifts to family members who already have everything else.

  Last year I made this on Christmas Eve instead of the usual Christmas cake, but I shaped it into a Yule Log. I just took the mixture out of the fridge after about 15-30 minutes and carefully used the baking parchment to help meroll the mixture into a log shape and hey presto, a festive, alternative and yummy yule log! I also substituted some of the nuts/fruit for marshmallows!

  It does sound nice but like a few other commenters I would like to know how far in advance I should make these as there is no mention of how long they keep for. It also doesn't say whether they are suitable for freezing. Elephantum, you mentioned you put some in the freezer? How did they fare?

  I tried these first to see what they were like, and like Four Candles above I used half milk and half dark chocolate. I used digestive biscuits, glace cherries, a few nuts and some fruit, and my family loved them. I shall definately be making them again.

  I actually get BEGGED to make this at work now... I chuck in whatever treats I have to hand but like Stacey says shortcake biscuits are best! So far I've used marshmallows, kitkats, honeycomb, milky way, malteasers and also topped it with drizzles of white chocolate :)

  For those of you wondering how long these keep for, I would suggest looking at the "best before" dates on all the ingredients & then using the nearest date as the "how long will they keep for" rule. I have kept these in my fridge for over a month - but only because I thought they were all gone, then found some in a bag at back of fridge. They were still lovely.
