The ultimate rocky road, sticky toffee, crispy cakes

I would only make these around Thanksgiving or Christmas as they go in a flash. They are little cakes of one’s fantasies that you don’t even need to bake!

3 x boxes (14 oz) Cadbury’s Chocolate Fingers (For US friends, you can get these at Costplus World Market or online)     Here is a picture of what they look like.
8 oz pitted Medjool dates
11 oz Green and Black’s 72% chocolate
11 oz Green and Black’s white chocolateScreen Shot 2014-11-08 at 10.24.54 AM
7 oz butter
4 oz mini marshmallows
4 oz Rice Krispies

Line a 8” by 12” cake pan with baking parchment, leaving flappy bits hanging over the sides to use as handles for pulling the cake out of the pan.
Chop fingers into small, bite-sized pieces (the Cadbury’s chocolate fingers that is – not your own).
Whizz the dates in a food processor until they turn into a smooth paste.
Melt the chocolates and butter in a bowl set over a pan of warm water.
Stir in the dates and mix until combined.
Add the chopped fingers, marshmallows and crispies. Stir to incorporate evenly.
Scrape into the prepared cake pan and spread with a spatula. Leave the cake to set in the fridge for an hour or so, or for as long as you can put off eating it (whichever comes sooner).
Unmold and cut into squares.
