Estefania's Spanish Chocolate biscuit cake

This is a  no bake chocolate biscuit cake that our au pair said is a firm favourite in her family for birthdays and special occasions.It is very different to the tiffin style chocolate biscuit cake and is now one of our family favourites. NB rectangle shaped biscuits are easiest to arrange. I like the finger rich teas.
