Chocolate Tiffin

Happy New Year everyone!!

This was something I made for my friends' Hogmanay party last night. It wasn't initially for them, but my friend and flatmate made a Maltesers one earlier on and I thought, I can do a dairy-free version. And I managed it!

Chocolate Tiffin, serves 8 (at least). Takes about 15 minutes to make, if that!

You need: a small square tin, buttered.

200g chocolate, broken into small pieces (I used 2 x 100g bars of Tesco plain chocolate, 30p each)
100g butter
230g biscuits, broken into small pieces (I used Hobnobs - completely dairy free as made with oil)

Optional: currants, raisins, sultanas, cherries, marshmallows, golden or maple syrup. Plus, you can always put an extra layer of chocolate on top once the tiffin has cooled in the fridge for a few hours.

Method

Melt the butter on a low heat on the hob, one melted, break the chocolate into small pieces (easiest to do by breaking it up while in the packet - same with the biscuits) and throw into the pan. Remember to continually stir the chocolate as otherwise it'll burn.

Once melted, take off the heat, throw in the biscuits and stir well. Once all covered in chocolate, spread out in the square tin with a spoon. Stick it in the fridge for about 4 hours and ta-dah! Done! Cut into small pieces and serve! It's really rich because of the plain chocolate, and exactly what we needed at 11pm before the bells for a bit of extra energy!

Again - no picture sorry, it was eaten too quickly!



I hope you all had a good night!!
