Ingredients:

  • 200 g Unsalted Butter: Unsalted butter is the best for tiffin, as it will slightly balance the sweetness of the sugar and chocolate.
  • 3 tbsp Unrefined Golden Caster Sugar: Golden caster sugar has a subtle caramel-like flavor. This can add a rich and slightly toffee-like taste, giving it a unique and more complex flavor profile.
  • 250 g Digestive Biscuits: These biscuits give the chocolate tiffin a better texture. The biscuits should be crushed with a rolling pin.
  • 200 g Dark Chocolate: Make sure to use high quality dark chocolate as it is the main ingredient to this basic chocolate tiffin recipe.
  • 100 g Milk Chocolate: Milk chocolate will add a bit more sweetness to the tiffin.
  • 50 g Raisins: The raisins add an extra bit of texture to the tiffin as well as increase the amount of fiber.
  • 2 tsp Cocoa Powder: The presence of cocoa powder in this easy tiffin recipe adds a rich chocolate flavor to the tiffin.
  • 4 tsp Golden Syrup: Golden syrup gives the tiffin a caramel-like taste while at the same time helping the tiffin to retain its moisture.

For the topping

  • 200 g Milk Chocolate: The milk chocolate is a rich taste for the topping and gives the tiffin a good look.
  • 1/4 tsp Vegetable Oil: Vegetable oil prevents the topping of the tiffin from being cracked.

Cooking Instructions:

  1. Line up a 20 cm square baking tin with non-stick baking paper
  2. Place the butter in a medium saucepan and heat gently till it is melted. Then, add the sugar, golden syrup, and the chocolate pieces while stirring at a low heat until the mixture is melted and smooth.
  3. Take 3-4 biscuits at a time, crushing them and add them to the saucepan along with the cocoa powder and raisins. Stir the mixture well until all the biscuits are coated in chocolate.
  4. Add this mixture into the baking tin and press it down firmly to make it as flat and smooth as possible.
  5. For the topping, melt the milk chocolate pieces and a few drops of vegetable oil in the microwave (in 30 second bursts). Spread the melted milk chocolate over the tiffin base and then put the tin in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  6. Take the tiffin out of the refrigerator and leave it out for 10-15 minutes before you cut it into square pieces.
