Mary Berry Tiffin Recipe

Mary Berry Tiffin

Mary Berry’s Tiffin is a no-bake traybake made by combining crushed digestive biscuits, raisins, golden syrup, and cocoa, all held together with melted chocolate and butter. The mixture is pressed into a tin and chilled until firm, then sliced into squares for a rich, chocolatey snack.

Ingredients

  • Digestive biscuits (200g): Provides the crunchy base of the tiffin.
  • Butter (100g): Adds richness and helps bind the ingredients together.
  • Golden syrup (2 tablespoons): Sweetens and adds a chewy texture.
  • Cocoa powder (2 tablespoons): Gives a deep, chocolatey flavor.
  • Raisins (100g): Adds chewy sweetness and texture.
  • Milk chocolate (200g, melted): For the topping.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Tin

  • Line a 20cm (8-inch) square tin with parchment paper, making sure it extends over the edges for easy removal later.

Step 2: Crush the Biscuits

  • Place the digestive biscuits in a large mixing bowl and crush them with a rolling pin or the back of a spoon. You want a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks for texture.

Step 3: Melt the Butter and Golden Syrup

  • In a saucepan, melt the butter and golden syrup together over low heat, stirring occasionally. Once melted, remove from the heat and stir in the cocoa powder until smooth.

Step 4: Combine the Ingredients

  • Pour the melted butter, syrup, and cocoa mixture over the crushed biscuits. Add the raisins and mix well until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 5: Press the Mixture into the Tin

  • Spoon the mixture into the lined tin and press it down firmly with the back of a spoon or spatula, ensuring it’s evenly distributed and compact.

Step 6: Melt the Chocolate

  • Melt the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (or in the microwave in short bursts). Once fully melted, pour the chocolate over the biscuit mixture and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7: Chill the Tiffin

  • Place the tiffin in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Step 8: Slice and Serve

  • Once the tiffin has set, remove it from the tin using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into squares or bars and enjoy!
