Ingredients
1/3 cup sugar½ cup honey50 g butter100 g miniature Tootsie Rolls70 g bittersweet chocolate, chopped300 g mincemeat1 cup flour2/3 cup ground almonds1 cup cocoa powder1 tsp cinnamon1 tsp pumpkin pie spice½ tsp ground cardamom¼ tsp ground black pepperGrated zest of 1 orange300 g mixed nuts and/or seeds (I used almonds, walnuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds) 50 g chopped dried figs 50 g chopped dried apricotspinch saltIcing sugar, to dust
Preheat oven to 320°F and line a 9" square pan with parchment.
Stir sugar, honey, butter, Tootsie Rolls, chocolate and mincemeat in a pan over low heat for 3-5 minutes until sugar dissolves.
Sift flour, ground almonds, cocoa and spices into a large bowl.
Add zest, nuts, figs, apricots, salt and mince mixture.
Stir to combine well – it will be quite stiff.
Press into the prepared pan (I like placing a piece of parchment or cling wrap on the surface and using a second pan to press it evenly).
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until firm and dull-looking on top.
Cool in pan, then invert onto a board and dust with icing sugar.
Cut into 36 pieces.
Wrap well in plastic and age at room temperature for 1 day, then transfer to an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month.
