In a large saucepan, melt the butter, sugar, and golden syrup and mix to combine

Turn off the heat, add the crushed biscuits and cocoa and mix thoroughlyThe chocolate colour should be quite evenly distributed

Add the fruit and any remaining liquor and mix carefully

For the Chocolate Tiffin:

When the chocolate is melted, pour over the base and spread evenly using a palette knife

I just wanted to say that we LOVE this tiffin recipe. We’ve just finished this year’s batch and are sad!! It is now a Xmas tradition. 
I replace the glacé cherries with cocktail cherries which give it a slight Amaretto like taste but that is all. Thank you 😊, this is my favourite tray bake 👏 🤩
