1. Break the biscuits into small pieces and put in a large bowl.
2. Add in both kinds of nuts and the cherries and stir to mix.
3. Put the rest of the ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer over the lowest possible heat until the chocolate and butter are melted.
4. You may have to give it a stir or two to combine the ingredients.
5. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl with the biscuits and use a spoon to mix everything until the chocolate is evenly distributed across the rest of the ingredients.
