Sort of like a brownie, but the base is made from chocolate, crushed biscuits and walnuts and it isn't baked just put in the fridge

They look and sound fabulous!  My son would shove the whole pan in his face in a minute....and if I served them to my neighbors, they'd swear I had Martha herself locked in my closet somewhere!

Marie Biscuit
One of the most popular biscuits around the world, Marie is a light, crisp, sweet, vanillary biscuit. The distinctive round biscuit has an intricate pattern and is perennially popular as a recipe ingredient. Arnott’s first launched a Marie biscuit in 1922 and has proudly produced it to the same recipe ever since.

Kickstart, any plain sweet biscuit will do
