The No-bake Chocolate Squares Recipe is a crunchy, chocolatey fruit-and-nut squares couldn’t be easier to make they don’t even need to be baked! For a citrus twist, add the grated zest of an orange to the chocolate, butter, and golden syrup mixture.

| No-bake Chocolate Squares |
7 oz (200 g) unsweetened baking chocolate (broken into pieces)
3 1⁄2 oz (100 g) butter (diced)
4 tbsp golden syrup, or 2 tbsp light corn syrup and 2 tbsp honey
2 1/2 cups (225 g) crushed graham crackers
1 cup (125 g) pistachio nuts
3/4 cup (200 g) dried apricots (roughly chopped)
3/4 cup (100 g) dried cranberries or cherries
 |
Line an 11” x 7” (18 cm x 28 cm) pan with parchment paper. Place the chocolate, butter, and golden syrup in a saucepan over a low heat. Stir until melted and smooth.
 |
Place all the remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Pour over the chocolate mixture and stir until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
 |
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with the back of a spoon. Chill for at least 2 hours or until firm to the touch.
 |
Run a blunt knife around the edge of the pan. Carefully turn out onto a cutting board and remove the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve.
Variation:
You can replace the dried cranberries or cherries with the same quantity of currants, raisins, candied cherries, or prunes.
