Ingredients
Scale
- 225 g (8 oz) biscuits, crushed
- 110 g (4 oz) milk chocolate
- 110 g (4 oz) dark chocolate
- 150 g (5.3 oz) butter, cubed
- 3 tbsps golden syrup
- 3 tbsps caster sugar
- 6 tsps cocoa powder
- 1 handful raisins
- butter (extra for tin)
Instructions
- Preparation: Grease a 6-8 inch baking tin and line with parchment paper, covering base and sides completely.
- Base Creation: Gently melt butter, sugar, golden syrup, and cocoa powder in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, stirring until achieving a glossy, uniform consistency.
- Mixing Foundation: Remove from heat and thoroughly fold graham crackers, raisins, and mixed nuts into the chocolate mixture, ensuring complete coating of all ingredients.
- Setting Base Layer: Transfer the combined mixture into the prepared tin, pressing firmly and evenly to create a compact, smooth foundation using a flexible spatula.
- Chocolate Topping: Melt milk and dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, using short intervals and stirring between each session until achieving a silky, seamless texture.
- Final Assembly: Pour melted chocolate over the biscuit base, gently tilting the tin to distribute an even, consistent chocolate layer across the entire surface.
- Chilling and Cutting: Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight until completely set, then remove from tin using parchment paper and slice into precise, uniform squares using a sharp knife.
Notes
- Butter Tin Carefully: Line parchment paper completely to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of tiffin bars.
- Melt Ingredients Gently: Use low heat and constant stirring to create a smooth, glossy chocolate base without burning.
- Press Mixture Firmly: Compact the biscuit layer tightly to achieve a dense, well-structured base for perfect texture.
- Chill Thoroughly: Refrigerate for minimum 2-3 hours or overnight to guarantee a firm, cleanly sliceable chocolate tiffin.
