Recipe : Ally's No Bake Choc-nut Tiffin Cake

*Tiffin is a form of cake-like confection composed of crushed biscuits (most commonly digestive biscuits) sugar, syrup, raisins and cocoa powder, often covered with a layer of melted chocolate. Unlike regular cakes, Tiffin does not require baking. Instead, following preparation of the mixture, the confection is chilled until set.

• 4 tablespoons golden syrup
• 250g digestive biscuits
• 250g dark chocolate
• 50g raisins
• 50g nuts
• 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
• 125g butter

Method

1. Put the syrup and the butter into a glass bowl and microwave for 2 minutes until melted.
2. Crush the biscuits in another bowl with a rolling pin. You want to leave it as small pieces of biscuit not a fine powder.
3. Pour the syrup and butter mixture into the crushed biscuits.
4. Now break up the chocolate and heat in microwave for 2 and a half/3 minutes
5. Add to the mixture along with 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, the raisins and nuts.
6.  Squish down onto a greased and lined baking tin and refrigerate for at least an hour.

Lyle's Golden Syrup is the UK's most iconic brand. The packaging has not changed since 1885. Isn't it great?
