Once you master the basic recipe, you can add any ingredients you like. Favourites of ours include (but aren’t limited to):
- Marshmallows
- Nuts
- Seeds
- Crushed digestive biscuits
- M&Ms
- Maltesers
- Chopped pieces of chocolate
- Sweets
- Meringue pieces

You can add essences or extracts to change the overall flavour such as mint, vanilla or orange.
You could press the cake mixture into any shaped tin lined with cling film and chill. Or do as I do and press it into a tray lined with cling film before slicing into bars.
I call it the “Kitchen Sink Cake” because basically everything goes into it, apart from the kitchen sink!
This recipe makes a full baking/cookie tray of bars which when cut up will give you approximately 24 portions.
