Despite what you may think, I do not have a sweet tooth. Like at all. But there are, I believe, some treats that are able to draw out the sugar demon in anyone, one of those things being tiffin. Despite any ill feelings I may sometimes harbour towards sugar, tiffin is always there to rebalance our relationship. It’s phenomenally versatile, I’ve never made it with the same ingredients twice and just add whatever happens to be floating about at the time. You don’t like nuts? Leave them out. Glacé cherries not your thing? Chuck something else in. Tiffin is also incredibly easy to make, a simple case of chop, melt, mix. Simple. Make these for friends, family, loved ones, people you don’t know/like...everyone.
Ingredients
250g dark chocolate, chopped
200g butter
3tbsp golden syrup
200g digestives biscuits, broken up
50g raisins
100g hazelnuts, chopped
100g glacé cherries, chopped
Method
Start by greasing and lining an 8x8” square tin.
Place the butter, chocolate and golden syrup in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water below. Allow the mixture slowly melt until smooth.
Add to the chocolate mixture the digestive pieces, raisins hazelnuts and cherries, stir to combine. Pour the mixture into your pre-lined pan, pop in the fridge and chill until set, about 4 hours.
Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the tiffin into squares and serve.
Enjoy! x
