Start with a pan of simmering water on medium flame for melting chocolate.

Place a bowl with dark chocolate over the simmering water, ensuring the water does not touch the bowl, and melt the chocolate bain-marie style.

In a separate bowl, combine 150 grams of room temperature butter and 100 grams of caster sugar, and cream them together until smooth.

Take a bag of amaretti biscuits and bash them to break them up into small pieces, leaving some chunks.

In another ziplock bag, add pistachios, pecans, and chopped hazelnuts, remove the air, and smash them to break into smaller pieces.

Once the chocolate is melted, remove it from heat and add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing well with a spatula.

Combine the butter and sugar mixture into the chocolate mixture, mixing until fully incorporated and smooth.

Return to the pan with simmering water, add a knob of butter and 2 tablespoons of corn syrup or golden syrup, and stir until melted and smooth.

Pour the butter and syrup mixture into the chocolate mixture and stir to combine.

Add the bashed amaretti biscuits, smashed nuts, and chopped glace cherries into the bowl with the chocolate mixture, and fold everything together until well mixed.
