Method
- Line a 20cm (8in) square loose-bottomed tin with nonstick baking paper. Set a large heatproof bowl over a pan of just simmering water. Add the chocolate, turn on the heat, and stir occasionally until melted and smooth.
- Tip the biscuits, nuts, most of the marshmallows and half the freeze-dried strawberries into the melted chocolate, stirring well to coat. Tip the mix into the tin, spreading out to fill. Toss over the remaining marshmallows and freeze-dried strawberries. Gently level with the back of a wooden spoon.
- Lightly score 16 squares on the surface with a knife. Alternate pressing a halved cherry and a halved strawberry, cut-side up, into each square. Put in the fridge and chill for at least 3 hrs, or overnight.
- Once set, remove from the tin and slice into 16 squares. Keep chilled in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
