Steps:
- Butter and line a 15-20cm tin with baking parchment. In a large saucepan, melt the butter, sugar, syrup and cocoa. Stir through the biscuits and raisins.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and press down, then smooth the top with the back of a spoon. Microwave both chocolates in short 20 second bursts, stirring frequently, until melted. Pour them over the mixture in the tin. Use a palette knife or spoon to smooth over, so it's completely coated in chocolate.
- Put the tin into the fridge and leave for about 2 hrs to set, or overnight. Run a kitchen knife under the hot tap then cut into squares.

TIFFIN
Nothing could be easier than tiffin. There's barely any actual cooking in this tea-time treat. Swap the raisins for any other preferred dried fruit - cherries, apricots or sultanas all work perfectly. Equipment and preparation: You will need a 20cm/8in cake tin.

Steps:
- Line the base and sides of a 20cm/8in cake tin with baking paper.
- Combine the golden syrup, butter, milk chocolate and dark chocolate in a medium-large heat-proof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir from time to time until the ingredients are nearly all melted and smooth. Remove from the heat, stir until smooth and leave to cool for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the crushed oaty biscuits with the honeycomb-centred chocolate and raisins in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl and, using a rubber spatula, mix to combine thoroughly. Scoop the mixture into the prepared tin and spread level using the back of a spoon. Chill for one hour until firm and then cut into portions to serve.

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!

Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will make a big difference to the taste of your tiffin. Use a good quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overcook the sugar syrup: The sugar syrup should be cooked until it reaches a temperature of 116°C (240°F). If you overcook it, it will become too thick and difficult to spread.
- Don't over-mix the mixture: Once you have added the chocolate to the dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Over-mixing will make the mixture tough.
- Press the mixture firmly into the tin: This will help to ensure that the tiffin is evenly set.
- Chill the tiffin thoroughly before cutting: This will make it easier to cut and will also help to prevent it from crumbling.
