For very soggy alcohol laden Christmas biscuits, use the full amount.
Slowly melt the butter.
Add the treacle and drinking chocolate powder to the melted butter.

Flatten this mixture into a dish / dishes with a large area.
Compress the mixture well.
It should be a bit thicker than a typical biscuit.
Melt the dark eating chocolate and spread it over the biscuit mix.
After spreading the melted chocolate, roughen the surface by stabbing it all over with a fork.
This helps the chocolate to stick to the biscuit layer.
Allow it to cool and set.
Before it becomes brittle, cut it up into slices. Freeze it.
