    What is chocolate tiffin?

    Chocolate tiffin is a British no-bake cake comprising crushed biscuits (usually digestives), butter, syrup and chocolate.

    You can add all sorts of other ingredients including dried fruit (raisins are a favourite), nuts and honeycomb.

    Tiffin should never contain marshmallows though, these should be reserved for Rocky Road only!

    ✔️ Why should you try it?

    • It's incredibly easy to make - with just a few simple ingredients and no baking required, this recipe is perfect for those who want a delicious treat without spending hours in the kitchen.
    • It's a unique twist on a classic recipe - by adding chocolate-coated honeycomb, you're taking a traditional tiffin recipe and making it even more indulgent and delicious.
    • It's perfect for sharing - whether you're having friends over for a movie night or bringing a dessert to a party, this recipe will impress and satisfy everyone's sweet tooth.
    • It's a great way to use up leftover chocolate - if you have leftover chocolate bars lying around, this recipe is a great way to use them up and create something delicious.
    • It's a crowd-pleaser - who doesn't love the combination of chocolate and honeycomb?

    🥘 Ingredients

    To make the Crunchie traybake, you will need;

    Chocolate - A key ingredient and this version contains a mixture of melted dark and milk chocolate to get that chocolate intensity just right.

    Digestive Biscuits - The biscuits are crushed up into small pieces and mixed with melted chocolate.

    Butter - Salted butter is used in this tiffin recipe, although you could substitute it with unsalted if you prefer.

    Golden Syrup - The beautiful amber liquid gives the tiffin just the right amount of sweetness.

    Chocolate Coated Honeycomb - Crushed Cadbury Crunchie Bars have been used in this version, but any other chocolate-coated honeycomb can be used to achieve the same delicious result.

    🔪 Instructions

    The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post

    One: Crush the biscuits and crunchie bars with a rolling pin and place them into a large bowl.

    Two: Melt the butter, chocolate and syrup together in a bowl (I do it in the microwave in 20-second bursts) and pour into the crushed biscuit mix.

    Three: Stir thoroughly until everything is coated in the melted chocolate mixture.

    Four: Line a 20 cm square tin with cling film and pour the tiffin in, spreading it out with the back of a spoon. Finish by sprinkling over more crushed honeycomb. Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours before cutting into squares.

    🍴 Serving suggestions

    This irresistible Crunchie tiffin recipe is a staple at family gatherings and birthday parties.

    It's also a hit during Christmas when I like to add some festive flair by incorporating dried fruit and nuts into the recipe.

    It can also be enjoyed with a cup of hot chocolate or coffee for a cosy afternoon treat.

    📖 Variations

    Here are some variations you can try!

    • White Chocolate and Raspberry: Swap out the dark and milk chocolate for white chocolate and add some freeze-dried raspberries for a fruity twist.
    • Peanut Butter and Chocolate: Mix some peanut butter into the melted chocolate for a nutty flavor, and add some chopped peanuts on top for crunch.
    • Mint Chocolate: Add a few drops of peppermint extract to the melted chocolate for a refreshing and minty twist.
    • Salted Caramel: Drizzle some salted caramel sauce over the top of the tiffin for a sweet and salty flavor.
    • Rocky Road: Add some mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, and crushed biscuits to the recipe for a classic rocky road twist.
    • Replace the honeycomb with Maltesers to make Malteser tiffin, which is another gem of a recipe.
    • Swap the digestives with another type of biscuit. Rich tea, gingernuts, and shortbread all work well.

    🥡 Storage

    Store - Place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.

    Freeze - If you want to keep it for longer, you can freeze it for up to three months. To freeze, wrap the tiffin tightly in cling film or aluminum foil and place it in a freezer-safe container. When you're ready to eat it, simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving. Keep in mind that the texture of the tiffin may change slightly after freezing, but it will still be just as delicious!

      Oh, Beth - how have I gotten this far in life and never heard of (or tried) a tiffin?!? *gasp* Just one look at that first pic, and I could see why it's just your very favorite thing, but you sure reeled me right on it with it being no-bake, and super-easy! Plus, it can be stored in the fridge for weeks (for ... you know ... chocolate emergencies)! Perfect! I'm so glad I found this recipe!!

        Hi Shelley! Tiffin is such a popular treat here in the UK. A bit like Rocky Road I guess but without the marshmallows.

      I'm from the U.S., so I'd never heard of Tiffin before. Your description has me wanting to book a trip across the pond, but Covid and all -- I'm going to head to the market to see if I can find a honeycomb candy. (They do have a British section in our store, so maybe I'll get lucky!)

      I hadn't heard of tiffin before but once you described it, sounds like a lot of no bake bars we enjoy in the states too! And who can argue with ingredients like biscuits and chocolate?! Love this recipe for a quick little bite of a treat!
