tiffin

Go all out and treat yourself to these chocolate tiffin slices, full of milk and dark chocolate, raisins and biscuit. Be warned: they won't last long!

Chocolate tiffin

butter, cubed,

tbsp caster sugar

golden syrup

cocoa powder

biscuits, crushed

raisins

milk chocolate

dark chocolate

Butter and line a 15-20cm tin with baking parchment. In a large saucepan, melt the butter, sugar, syrup and cocoa. Stir through the biscuits and raisins.

Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and press down, then smooth the top with the back of a spoon. Microwave both chocolates in short 20 second bursts, stirring frequently, until melted. Pour them over the mixture in the tin. Use a palette knife or spoon to smooth over, so it's completely coated in chocolate.

Put the tin into the fridge and leave for about 2 hrs to set, or overnight. Run a kitchen knife under the hot tap then cut into squares.

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 👏 🤩
