🛒 Ingredient notes

🔪 Instructions
The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post
One: Place the butter, syrup, and chocolate in a large microwaveable bowl and melt in the microwave. I do this in 30-second increments, stirring in between.
Two: Set the melted chocolate mixture aside for 5 minutes to cool.
Three: Stir in the crushed digestives and mini creme eggs (you can keep these whole).
Four: Press the tiffin into a 20cm square baking tin.
Five: Using a sharp knife, cut the full-sized creme eggs in half and melt the white chocolate in the microwave in a small bowl.
Six: Place the halved creme eggs on top of the tiffin, pressing them into the chocolate tiffin mixture slightly. Drizzle with the melted chocolate. Place in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars.
💭 Expert tips
- To speed up the setting process (meaning you can tuck in quicker!), place the tin in the freezer for 45 minutes, before cutting into bars.
- Store the tiffin in the fridge, especially if it's warm!
- Always line the tin with baking paper or 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 baking paper or clingfilm and cut it into squares.
🍴 Serving suggestions
Chocolate tiffin is great to serve at parties, buffets, and bake sales, as it can be made up to 3 days ahead!
📖 Variations
Use mini eggs instead of creme eggs and make mini egg tiffin!
Add marshmallows and make Easter Egg Rocky Road.
Add a handful of raisins or sultanas, or how about some chopped nuts?
Use Easter egg chocolate to make the tiffin.
🥡 Storage
You can make the tiffin up to 3 days ahead. Cut it into bars and store it in the fridge, in an airtight container! It will keep for up to 5 days...but it won't last if you know what I mean!
You can also freeze the chocolate tiffin for up to 3 months. Place the chocolate tiffin bars in a freezer-safe container, with each layer separated with parchment paper.
❓ Frequently asked questions
The main difference between chocolate tiffin and rocky road is marshmallows. Rocky road contains marshmallows and tiffin does not.
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.
Creme eggs made by Cadbury consist of a milk chocolate shell with soft fondant center. They taste very sweet.
The secret is to freeze the creme eggs overnight so that they don't collapse on cutting. Take them out of the freezer and cut down the seam with a very sharp knife. Try to do this as quickly as possible so they don't thaw out and become too soft to cut.
