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 melted chocolate.
- Butter - Salted butter is used in this tiffin recipe, although you could substitute it with unsalted if you wish.
- 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!!
Beth Sachs
Hi Shelley! Tiffin is such a popular treat here in the UK. A bit like Rocky Road I guess but without the marshmallows.
Lisa | Garlic & Zest
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!)
Beth Sachs
Hi Lisa! I hope you manage to find the honeycomb.
Christian Guzman
