If there is anything I’ve eaten a lot of in the past 3 weeks it is this stuff. It tastes very good. Yes tiffin is not the healthiest (by a mile) but whoever said good tasting things were never healthy is on point when it comes to this.
Filled with delicious layers of biscuit, chocolate and crunchie, there is simply nothing you cannot love about it. Plus you can easily swap the crunchie out for other sweet treats like maltesers.
A recipe for both kids and adults to enjoy while being relatively easy to make, means it is a win win recipe. What’s not to love?
Also, I might add, Kirsty is my twin sister and has been fuelling me with this fabulous treat for the past few weeks.
Ingredients
The Base:
- 200g Milk Chocolate
- 100g Unsalted Butter
- 2 tbsp’s Golden Syrup
- 125g Digestive Biscuits
- 3 Crunchie Bars
The Topping:
- 100g Milk Chocolate
- 100g White Chocolate
- 25g Unsalted Butter
- 1 tsp Golden Syrup
- 2 Crunchie Bars
Step 1: Put a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (make sure the bowl does not touch the water).
Step 2: Add the Unsalted Butter and Golden Syrup (for the base) into the bowl and wait until fully melted (stir occasionally).
Step 3: Meanwhile you will need to prepare the base and the chocolate. Start with adding the digestive biscuits and crunchie bars in an airtight bag. Smash until broken up.
Tip: The biscuits should be a crumb like texture however if the crunchies are not fully broken, do not worry! Also keep an eye on the bag and make sure it doesn’t break, using a ladle is the perfect instrument for breaking this up!
Step 4: Chop the chocolate for the base finely. Once the butter and golden syrup mixture is fully melted, take it off the heat and add the chocolate to it.
Tip: It is important this is done off the heat and not stirred frequently as you risk splitting the mixture. If you do split the mixture slowly add cream and whip vigorously once cooler in temperature to bring back to a normal consistency (which will be slightly thicker than normal melted chocolate if you do split it.)
Step 5: Add this chocolate to the biscuit mixture and combine.
Step 6: Line a 20-25cm tin which is deep with baking parchment and spread out the chocolate biscuit mixture.
Tip: Use the base of a glass to flatten the mixture. This gives an even base for your topping to sit on.
Step 7: Now repeat the melting process for the topping; place the butter and syrup over the simmering heat.
Step 8: Again, chop the milk and white chocolate finely. Repeat step 4 for this, keeping in mind the chance of the mix splitting.
Step 9: You now want to add your melted chocolate to the top of the biscuit mix in your tin.
Step 10: Chop up your crunchies for the topping. This does not need to be small but keep in mind it will be chopped into bite size square pieces.
Tip: if you cut the crunchie down the centre horizontally and then cut smaller pieces from this you should get pieces that stand up.
Step 11: You will also get excess crumbs from the crunchie, simply sprinkle this on the top for added texture and less waste.
Step 12: Cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for 2 hours.
This can last a while if kept in the fridge in an airtight container. It also tastes better when cold.
And that’s it. The perfect tiffin for everyone to enjoy! It also makes a great gift because you can easily cut it up and divide it into whatever size you like.
It has quickly become one of my favourites and because it doesn’t actually need baked its relatively simple and not much can go wrong.
