    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?

    Apart from being THE BEST THING EVER INVENTED.....

    • Easy to make
    • Kids can get involved
    • Lots of different flavour combinations
    • It keeps for weeks stored in the fridge

    🥘 Ingredients

    • 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 the melted chocolate.
    • Butter - Salted butter is used in this tiffin recipe, although you could substitute with unsalted if you wished.
    • Golden Syrup - The beautiful amber liquid gives the tiffin just the right amount of sweetness.
    • Chocolate Coated Honeycomb - Crushed Cadbury's Crunchie Bars have been used in this version, but any other chocolate coated honeycomb is fine to use too.

    🔪 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 (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 out with the back of a spoon. Finish by sprinkling over more crushed honeycomb. Place in the fridge and allow to set for 2 hours before cutting into squares.

    🍴 Serving suggestions

    I often make a batch of this moreish tiffin for birthday parties and family gatherings. It goes down really well at Christmas parties too, where I sometimes add some Christmassy flavour in the form of dried fruit and nuts.

    📖 Variations

    There are loads of ways to vary the flavour and texture of chocolate tiffin. Like I previously mentioned, dried fruit (raisins, sultanas, cranberries) give a lovely sweetness to the tiffin, and chopped pecans or walnuts give a lovely crunch.

    You could try replacing the honeycomb with Maltesers to make Malteser tiffin, which is another gem of a recipe.

    Alternatively, replace the digestives with another type of biscuit. Rich tea, gingernuts, and shortbread all work well.

    🥡 Storage

    The chocolate honeycomb tiffin will keep in a sealed container in the fridge for at least a couple of weeks. It won't last that long though. You can also freeze the tiffin if you wished.

      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!
