Description
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!
