Equipment

  • baking parchment
  • 20 centimetre square tin
  • Small saucepan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon
  • glass bowl
  • Sharp knife
  • Chopping board
  • food processor or plastic bag and rolling pin

Ingredients
 
 

  • 250 g digestive biscuits
  • 3 tablespoon sugar
  • 50 g almonds
  • 300 g milk chocolate
  • 200 g butter
  • 50 g dried cranberries
  • 100 g raisins
  • 3 tablespoon cocoa
  • 110 g golden syrup

Instructions
 

  • Put the butter, sugar, cocoa and syrup into a small saucepan. Melt, stirring occasionally over a medium heat.
  • Roughly chop the almonds.
  • Pulse the biscuits in a food processor or place in a large plastic bag and use a rolling pin to break into smaller pieces.
  • Put the biscuits, dried fruit and nuts in a mixing bowl and combine.
  • Add the melted cocoa mixture and stir together thoroughly.
  • Line the tin with baking parchment and add the tiffin mix. Press down well with the back of a metal spoon and smooth the surface.
  • Chill for 20 minutes.
  • Break the chocolate into pieces and place in a glass bowl.
  • Either melt the chocolate in a microwave on full power at 20 second increments, stirring in between. Alternatively set the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water and stir until melted.

  • Place in the fridge to set for a further 20 minutes or so.
  • Cut into 16 pieces and use the baking parchment to lift out the tiffin.
