Anyone for Tiffin?...

Lady Montague-Smithereens recipe for Chocolate Tiffin


110g (4 oz) butter 
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons golden syrup 
4 teaspoons cocoa 
225g (8 oz) crushed Rich Tea biscuits or Digestives
1 handful of raisins 
225g (8 oz) cooking chocolate - half milk & half dark

Obviously, our American cousins add pecan nuts and, God forbid, something called Peanut Butter and those pretned biscuits, Oreo's... 

Method
Prep:10min  ›  Cook:5min  ›  Extra time:1hr setting  ›  Ready in:1hr15min 

  1. In a saucepan, melt the butter, sugar, syrup and cocoa. Add the biscuits and raisins when melted. Stir to combine.
  2. Pour mixture into a swiss roll size tin and press down. Melt the cooking chocolate and pour over the mixture in the tin.
  3. Pop the tin into the fridge and leave for about 1 hour to set. To serve, cut into about 20 pieces.

Tip:

Melt the chocolate by microwaving (what's that? It not invented yet..)) at 30 second intervals, stirring in between, till melted. But be careful not to scorch the chocolate! Otherwise, melt in a double boiler.
