Chocolate Squares

One of the all-time favourite hits in our house, are these delicious chocolate squares. I have to make them every so often. One thing I have found with them, is that they really are best when I use certain brands of ingredients. I will share my favourite ingredients for this recipe with you in today's blog.

Crush a packet of Marie Biscuits to pieces. I prefer Blue Label Marie Biscuits as they seem to retain their crispness better than the others.

Measure 500 g icing sugar and 4 tablespoons (50 ml) cocoa in a large bowl.

Melt 500 ml margarine on the stove. I prefer Stork baking margarine. On this occasion I did not have Stork in the house and my squares came out much more sticky than usual, as a result.

Add the dry ingredients to the melted butter and continue cooking until the ingredients start making a round shape on the bottom of the pot.

Stir all the while that the pot is on the stove.

Break one egg in a bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla to the pot.

Add the Marie biscuits to the pot and stir well. Then add the raw egg to the pot. Stir quickly before the egg has time to cook in the scalding hot pot.

Spread the mixture over a deep tray or baking dish that has been prepared with non-stick coating.

Allow it to cool down to lukewarm and then cut into squares. Allow to cool further in the fridge before removing from the tray.

Serve with something savoury as these are very sweet.
