📝 Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Baking Tray: Start by greasing a 19 cm x 28 cm x 2 cm baking tray, ensuring your chocolate hedgehog squares won’t stick.

  2. Crush the Biscuits: In a large bowl, crush the biscuits into small pieces. This will form the base of your hedgehog squares.

  3. Melt the Butter Mixture: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter along with the caster sugar, coconut, and cocoa powder. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

  4. Boil the Mixture: Once melted, bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it simmer for about 2 minutes. This helps to infuse the flavors and create a rich, chocolatey base for your hedgehog squares.

  5. Cool the Mixture: Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Don’t worry if it looks separated at this stage—that’s perfectly normal.

  6. Whisk in the Eggs: Gradually whisk the eggs into the cooled mixture. This step helps to bind everything together and improve the consistency.

  7. Combine with Crushed Biscuits: Pour the chocolate mixture over the crushed biscuits in the bowl. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly combined, creating a thick, chocolaty batter.

  8. Transfer to Tray: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking tray, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Let it cool completely before proceeding to the next step.

  9. Add Frosting and Toppings: Prepare the chocolate frosting by mixing cocoa powder, icing sugar, syrup, and butter in a bowl. Gradually add water while beating continuously until the frosting is light and fluffy. Spread the frosting over the cooled chocolate mixture in the tray, then sprinkle with your choice of nuts, hundreds and thousands, or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

  10. Cut into Squares: Once the frosting is set, carefully cut the chocolate hedgehog slab into squares using a sharp knife.

  11. Serve and Enjoy: Your delicious chocolate hedgehog squares are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a delightful dessert or a sweet treat for any occasion.

This recipe is perfect for when you’re craving something sweet but don’t have the time or energy for elaborate baking. With its rich chocolate flavor and indulgent frosting, these hedgehog squares are sure to become a new favorite in your household. Plus, they’re so easy to make, even the little ones can join in on the fun!
