Equipment

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 250 g Digestives place in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin, leaving some large pieces for texture.
  • 200 g Dark Chocolate broken into pieces
  • 100 g Milk Chocolate broken into pieces
  • 100 g Butter cubed
  • 150 g Golden Syrup
  • 2 teaspoon Cocoa Powder

For the topping

  • 200 g Milk Chocolate broken into pieces
  • ¼ teaspoon Vegetable Oil

Instructions

  • Line a 20cm square baking tin with non stick baking paper or clingfilm.
  • Place the butter, golden syrup, and broken milk and dark chocolate pieces in a large microwaveable bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts (stirring in between) until everything is melted together.
    200 g Dark Chocolate, 100 g Milk Chocolate, 100 g Butter, 150 g Golden Syrup
  • Fold in the crushed digestive biscuits and cocoa powder until all of the biscuits are coated in the chocolate mixture.
    250 g Digestives, 2 teaspoon Cocoa Powder
  • Press the mixture firmly into a lined tin (use the back of a heavy metal spoon to really compact it down).
  • For the milk chocolate topping, melt the milk chocolate pieces (and a few drops of vegetable oil) in the microwave in 30-second bursts to ensure it doesn't go grainy. Spread the melted milk chocolate onto the tiffin base and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
    200 g Milk Chocolate, ¼ teaspoon Vegetable Oil
  • Take the tiffin out of the fridge 10-15 minutes prior to cutting it into bars, to ensure the chocolate topping doesn't crack.

Notes

Variations:
  • Add 75g of chopped walnuts or pecan nuts for crunch and texture.
  • Add a few tablespoons of smooth peanut butter to the melted chocolate before mixing in the other ingredients for a delicious peanut butter twist.
  • Add 100g of dried fruit such as raisins, chopped dried apricots, glace cherries, or dried cranberries.
  • Try using different biscuits such as ginger biscuits, shortbread, Oreos, hobnobs, or jammie dodgers.
  • Stir in crushed honeycomb, smarties, mini daim bars, mini eggs, chopped mars bars, or other chocolate candy.
  • Add a few drops of peppermint extract to the melted chocolate for a refreshing and festive twist. You can also top the tiffin with crushed candy canes or chopped mint chocolate.
  • Swap the dark chocolate for white chocolate for a lighter, creamier version of the tiffin. You can also add some dried cranberries or chopped pistachios for a pop of color and flavour.
  • Add a glug of Baileys to make boozy chocolate tiffin.
 
Storage:
Make-Ahead - The tiffin can be made up to 3 days in advance.
Store - Tiffin bars should be kept in an airtight container in a cool dry place. If the weather is very hot, store the tiffin in the fridge to stop it from melting. It will keep for up to 5 days.
Freeze - Tiffin is freezer friendly. Place the cut bars in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Alternatively, wrap the whole slab in two layers of foil and freeze it as one big piece.
