Notes
Lining the tin - always line the tin with clingfilm to ensure you can get the tiffin out of the tin in one piece. Once the tiffin has set you can easily turn out the tiffin onto a board, peel off the clingfilm and cut it into squares.
Setting the tiffin - speed up the setting process by placing the chocolate tiffin in the freezer for 30 minutes, instead of the fridge. I'm impatient so usually use this method!
Variations - there are so many ways to vary 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 an adult audience.
- Add in 50 g of raisins or chopped dried apricots for a fruity hit.
- 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 smooth melted milk chocolate before sprinkling on the chopped mini eggs. You could even be bold and use white chocolate which would provide a really lovely visual colour contrast.
