Nutty Chocolate Crunch

• Line a non-stick baking tin with butter. Combine biscuits and nuts in a large bowl. If the nuts are large in size, split them into halves.
• Boil water on low heat and in a bowl place butter, chocolate, and golden syrup over the pan of boiling water. Stir occasionally. When the mixture turns glossy and smooth, pour over the nut and biscuit mixture.
• Add the mixture into the greased tin and flatten it lightly. Chill overnight and cut into squares.

Trivia

Chocolate is indeed the food of the goods. The scientific name of chocolate tree, Theobroma cacao, means just that! Interestingly enough, it’s not just the taste of chocolate that can drive people crazy; even the smell of chocolate is said to trigger brain waves. Now you know the reason behind your chocolate cravings! What’s more, Europeans alone consume more than half of the world’s chocolate. Chocolates contain Theobromine, which can potentially kill a human. You’ll need to consume some 10 kg of chocolate to die to poisoning, though.

Chocolate’s not the favorite of humans alone. Mice are said to prefer chocolate to cheese! Basically, mice are driven towards sweet-smelling foods and chocolates make the perfect delicacy!
