The Recipe: Chunky Chocolate Tiffin

13th September sees International Chocolate Day, so we thought we should celebrate appropriately with this Chunky Chocolate Tiffin. They’re a little bit naughty but a whole lot of delicious!

Ingredients

150g butter, cubed, plus extra for the tin

3 tbsp caster sugar

3 tbsp golden syrup

6 tsp cocoa powder

225g biscuits, crushed

handful of raisins

110g milk chocolate

110g dark chocolate

Method

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