Chocolate fridge loaf

Ingredients:
200g digestive biscuits
60g pecan nuts
60g macadamia nuts
80g packet pistachio kernels
100g glace cherries
200g good-quality dark chocolate
150g unsalted butter
2 tablespoons caster sugar
icing sugar, to dust

Method:
Line a 10cm x 20cm loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving plenty of overhang.
Place the chocolate, butter and caster sugar in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (bowl shouldn�t touch the water). Stir occasionally until chocolate melts.
Meanwhile, break biscuits into small pieces and place in a large bowl. Add pecans, macadamias, pistachios and cherries. Add the melted chocolate mixture and spoon into loaf pan. Press down firmly. Refrigerate overnight, then turn out onto a serving platter. Sprinkle with icing sugar and cut into hefty slices.
