Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate and Main Ingredients:

  • 110g milk chocolate
  • 110g dark chocolate
  • 225g biscuits, crushed
  • 150g butter, cubed, plus extra for the tin
  • 6 teaspoons cocoa powder

Sweeteners:

  • 3 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 3 tablespoons golden syrup

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1 handful raisins

Instructions

  1. Prepare a 15-20 cm baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage of the base and sides.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine chocolate, butter, sugar, and water over low heat, stirring continuously until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and fold in raisins and broken cookies, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
  4. Transfer the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing down gently to create an even layer.
  5. For the topping, place milk and dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 15-20 second intervals and stirring between each session.
  6. Continue microwaving and stirring the chocolate until it reaches a completely smooth, glossy consistency with no lumps.
  7. Pour the melted chocolate topping evenly over the cookie base, using a spatula to spread it to the edges.
  8. Refrigerate the tiffin for a minimum of 2 hours or preferably overnight until the chocolate sets completely firm.
  9. Once fully chilled and hardened, remove from the refrigerator and slice into neat squares using a sharp knife.

Notes

  • Choose a non-stick baking dish to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  • Crush cookies into varied sizes for interesting texture and more crumbly mouthfeel.
  • Swap traditional cookies with gluten-free alternatives for a celiac-friendly version.
  • Experiment with different chocolate types like white or ruby chocolate for unique flavor profiles.
