Tiffin Recipe!

My tiffin recipe was inspired by the yummy piece I had at Kendal Calling last weekend. I feel a bit weird calling it tiffin though as it I know it as Chocolate Biscuit Cake. I used to make it all the time with my mum when I was younger and it was one of my favourite things to eat...turns out it still is. It's a really easy recipe as it doesn't involve any oven time, which is also why it's known as 'no bake chocolate cake.' I wonder why it has so many names??

Here's the recipe for you to try out...please do...you won't regret it.

100g Butter

25g Soft Brown Sugar

3 Tbsp Cocoa

4 Tbsp Golden Syrup

225 Crushed Digestives

150g Raisins or your dried fruit of choice (optional, I didn't use it...might add to your five a day though!)

Big bar of Dairy Milk (to melt on the top)

1. Put all your ingredients apart from the chocolate and biscuits in a pan and heat gently until all melted

2. Crush your biscuits (I did it with by putting them in a plastic bag and bashing them frantically with a rolling bin...and yes, I did split the bag!)

3. Stir the biscuits into the melted mixture

4. Press the mixture into a greased tin

5. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water and then spread over the cake

6. Put in the fridge until set, slice into big or small pieces (maybe small, it's very sweet) and eat eat eat.

It's best to leave it in the fridge rather than take it out and put it in a tin as the nice thick layer of chocolate stays all yummy and solid!
