So lets dive into everything you need to know about chocolate biscuit cakes.

As you may know there are so many ways you can make a biscuit cake…. so many delicious options.

With ours we’ve used a variation of milk and dark chocolate, butter, golden syrup, digestives, raisins, mini marshmallows and Crunchie bars. 🤤

Crunchie Bar Replacement: You can use 1 packet of Maltesers in replacement of the Crunchie bars if you would like.

Gluten-Free Chocolate Biscuit Cake? Yes you can make our biscuit cake gluten-free and actually really easily with one swap. The digestives. Use gluten-free digestives instead and everything else is gluten-free friendly, even the crunchie bars!
