Preparation method
1. To make the base, melt the butter in a small pan. Break the biscuits

food bag and bash with a rolling pin. Tip into a bowl and stir in the
melted butter.
4. Pour the toffee gently onto the biscuit base and quickly smooth the
surface. Leave to chill for one hour (and up to eight hours) before
topping.

spoon gently on top.

decorate with chocolate curls. Serve in fairly thin slices as it is very
rich.
