Instructions

Place the butter, syrup and Amaretto into a pan over a low heat until the butter has melted.
75 g unsalted butter, 2 tbsp golden syrup, 1 tbsp Amaretto liqueur
Break up the chocolate and add to the pan. Turn off the heat. Leave for a few minutes to melt, then stir until completely combined.
200 g milk chocolate, 50 g dark chocolate
Place the biscuits in a large bowl and bash with the end of a rolling pin until they are in various sized pieces with a few crumbs. Alternatively, you could use a plastic bag, but I prefer not to use plastic when I can get away with it.
200 g digestive biscuits
Toast the almonds in a dry frying pan until golden, if you haven't done so already, and stir into the biscuits along with the sour cherries or sour cherry chocolates, if using.
25 g flaked almonds, 50 g dried sour cherries
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the biscuits and stir until everything is well coated.
Pour into a 20 or 22cm buttered square pan and leave in a cool place for a couple of hours to set.
Cut into whatever sized slices you like or break haphazardly with your hands.

Notes

You'll get thicker or thinner slices depending on what size pan you use.
