EASY CHOCOLATE TIFFIN RECIPE
In Scotland, Tiffin refers to the delicious traybake made of crushed biscuits, butter, sugar, raisins (sometimes cherries) and topped with a layer of melted chocolate. Rumour has it (aka, Wikipedia) that the chocolate tiffin recipe originated in Troon in Scotland in the 1900s, although I haven't been able to find anything to substantiate this. You might sometimes see it called "fridge cake" as this simple recipe requires no actual baking. Instead, you mix all the ingredients together before allowing it to chill in the fridge. It's also known as icebox cake, chocolate concrete cake, and no-bake chocolate biscuit cake.

Steps:
- Grease and line a 20cm/8" square tin with baking paper.
- Put the digestive biscuits into a zip lock bag and bash them with a rolling pin to break them up. They should be mostly broken into fine crumbs but you can leave a few larger chunks.
- Add the butter, golden syrup, sugar and cocoa powder to a large saucepan. Melt everything together over a low heat, stirring frequently.
- Once the mixture has melted, remove the pan from the heat and add the digestive biscuits and raisins. Stir everything together well so the biscuits are completely coated in the butter mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to your prepared tin and press it down into a compact even layer with the back of a spoon.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring in between. Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the tiffin base, smoothing it out into an even layer.
- Put the tin in the fridge for at least 2 hours to allow everything to set.
- To prevent the chocolate layer on top from cracking when you cut into it, allow the tiffin to come to room temperature again before slicing. Slice up into 16 squares and enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Butter a 6" cake tin and line the bottom with parchment or waxed paper. 2. Break the tea biscuits into small pieces (about 1" long) and put into a bowl and set aside. 3. Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. 4. Melt the dark chocolate using the defrost function of the microwave or over a double boiler. Stop heating the chocolate when it is almost melted. Add the melted chocolate to the butter and sugar mixture and mix well until combined. 5. Gently add in the Rich Tea biscuit pieces until they are fully coated in chocolate mixture. 6. Put this into the prepared cake tin, carefully trying to fill all the air spots so there aren't holes in the bottom or middle of the cake (the bottom will be the top). 7. Place the tin in the fridge for about 4 hours. When ready to finish the cake, remove from the fridge and allow to stand for about 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edge and turn upside down onto a cooling rack placed on a sheet tray (or anything to catch chocolate drips). Remove the parchment paper. 8. Now, melt the dark chocolate for the coating in a double boiler or again in the microwave on defrost to slowly melt the chocolate, stirring at intervals. Stop heating the chocolate when there are still pieces of chocolate. Continue stirring off the heat until completely smooth. 9. Slowly pour the melted chocolate over the top and sides of the cake and smooth using a butter or palette knife. 10. Allow to set at room temperature. When set, remove the cake and place on a serving plate and decorate as desired.

Steps:
- Line a 20cm square baking tin with baking parchment.
- Place the 200g of chocolate, butter and syrup in a heat-proof bowl and melt over a pan of barely simmering water or in the microwave. Once almost melted, remove from the heat and gently stir until any tiny bits chocolate have melted. Allow to cool a little.
- Place the biscuits and 35g of the Maltesers in a freezer bag, seal and crush with a rolling pin. You want mainly crumbs but a few small chunks of biscuit is fine.
- Top the crushed mixture and whole Maltesers (save 1 or 2 for yourself) to the melted chocolate and stir until everything is coated. Press into the prepared tin and make the topping.
- For the topping, melt the chocolate, butter and syrup as before and spread over the biscuit base.
- Cover the tin with cling film or foil and refrigerate for 1-2 hours before cutting into squares.
Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your tiffin.
- Don't over-mix the batter. Over-mixing will make the tiffin tough.
- Line the baking tin with parchment paper. This will make it easy to remove the tiffin from the tin.
- Bake the tiffin until it is just set. Over-baking will make the tiffin dry.
- Let the tiffin cool completely before cutting it. This will help it to hold its shape.
- Store the tiffin in an airtight container at room temperature. It will keep for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
Conclusion:
Chocolate tiffin is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and chewy texture, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give chocolate tiffin a try. You won't be disappointed!
