chocolate tim tam hedgehog*




serves 10 – 12



Tim Tams are THE best chocolate biscuits (cookies) in Australia, and possibly the world. If you can’t get access to Tim Tams, substitute in your favourite chocolate biscuit or even something plain like a digestive.



100g (3 1/2oz) butter

100g (3 1/2oz) dark chocolate

1 packet Tim Tams (200g / 7oz)



Line a 24cm x 12 cm (approx 9 1/2in x 5in) loaf pan with baking paper or foil.



Place butter in a small saucepan over a medium heat until only just melted. If it starts to sizzle it will be too hot - so allow it to cool down before proceeding.



Break chocolate into small pieces and add to the butter. Allow to stand for a few minutes and then stir until chocolate is melted though. It may need another quick turn on the heat to get the chocolate to melt.



Cut Tim Tams into chunks about the size of a dice. Stir through chocolate mixture and scrape everything into the prepared tin.



Smooth the top and refrigerate until set - about 30 minutes or so.



*note: This recipe needs longer than 10 minutes before you can serve. The active cooking time is only 10 minutes though so I’ve let it sneak in.
