✔️ Why should you try it?
Here's why this is the best Easter tiffin recipe!
- Quick and easy to make mini eggs recipe.
- No bake recipe.
- A great recipe for kids.
- Decadent, rich, and chocolaty.
- Can be made up to 5 days in advance.
🥘 Ingredients
Only 6 ingredients are needed to make this simple chocolate tiffin:
- Digestive biscuits - you could also use rich tea biscuits or graham crackers if you're in the US.
- Mini Eggs - I use Cadbury mini eggs but whatever brand you use, make sure they have a thin crispy shell to get that all-important crunch.
- Chocolate - for tiffin and fridge cakes I always use a mixture of dark and milk chocolate to get that perfect balance of chocolatey goodness.
- Butter - unsalted butter is best for this no-bake treat.
- Golden Syrup - added for sweetness and to help all of the ingredients stick together.
🔪 Instructions
The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post
One: In a large bowl crush the digestive biscuits until you get some crumbs but also some large pieces too. Stir in 140g of mini eggs and set aside.
Two: Melt the milk and dark chocolate, butter, and syrup in the microwave (or alternatively in a nonstick pan on the hob) and mix with the crushed digestive biscuits.
Three: Line a 20cm (8 inch) tin with clingfilm and pour the tiffin mixture into the tin. Use the back of a heavy metal spoon to smooth down the top.
Four: Sprinkle over 100g of crushed mini eggs and leave the tiffin to set in the fridge for 2 hours before cutting into squares.
💭 Top tips
- Always line the tin with cling film to ensure you can easily remove the tiffin from the tin in one piece. Once the tiffin is set you can turn out the tiffin onto a board, peel off the clingfilm and cut it into squares.
- Speed up the setting process by placing the chocolate tiffin in the freezer for 30 minutes, instead of the fridge. I'm very impatient when it comes to tiffin, so I usually use this method!
- If you can't get hold of golden syrup use honey instead.
🍴 Serving suggestions
Chocolate tiffin is a delicious pick-me-up with a cup of tea. My kids enjoy it with a glass of cold milk too.
Because you can make this ahead of time, it's perfect for Easter parties and large gatherings.

📖 Variations
There are lots of ways to customise this basic recipe. Here are a few suggestions:
- Replace half of the digestive biscuits with ginger biscuits or shortbread.
- Use all dark chocolate if you are serving this to adults.
- Add in 50 g of raisins or chopped dried apricots for a fruity flavour.
- A handful of chopped macadamia nuts give the tiffin a nutty crunch.
- Substitute the mini eggs for Maltesers or Smarties. Or use a combination of chocolate-coated candy.
- Top the tiffin with a layer of melted milk chocolate or white chocolate before sprinkling on the chopped mini eggs.
🥡 Storage
Cut the tiffin into squares and store it in a sealed container in the fridge, lined with baking parchment to prevent the slices from sticking together. It will keep for up to 5 days.
❓ FAQS
The main difference between chocolate tiffin and rocky road is marshmallows. Rocky road contains marshmallows and tiffin does not.
Tiffin will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
1. Line the tin with baking paper or clingfilm so that the tiffin, once set, can be removed to a chopping board.
2. Take the tiffin out of the fridge (or freezer) 20 minutes before cutting it into squares.
3. Use a sharp knife to cut long strips, then turn the chopping board around 180 degrees and cut long strips the other way.
