CHOCOLATE TIFFIN

Steps:

• Combine butter, sugar, golden syrup, and cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir until smooth, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in biscuits and raisins. Pour mixture onto a rimmed 8 x 12-inch jelly roll pan; press to flatten.
• Melt milk chocolate and dark chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour melted chocolate over base in the jelly roll pan.
• Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. Cut into 20 pieces.

EASY CHOCOLATE TIFFIN RECIPE

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!

CHOCOLATE BISCUIT CAKE (THE QUEEN'S FAVORITE CAKE - TIFFIN RECIPE)

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.
