Dawn's Mum's Tiffin

If you're looking for a perfect accompaniment to a well-earned brew, then search no longer. I can personally vouch for the fact that this tastes extra good with a steaming cup of your favourite caffeinated beverage. Cut it just big enough to feel like a treat, and small enough for plenty to go round. And, no actual oven involved - easy peasy.

Ingredients

(Makes approx 16 squares)

• 110g margarine
• 50g caster sugar
• 2tbsp golden syrup
• 25g cocoa
• handful of raisins
• 225g crushed digestive biscuits

Method

1. Melt the margarine, sugar, syrup and cocoa together in a saucepan.
2. Take the pan off the heat and add the biscuit and raisins. Mix well.
3. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish (approx 20cm square) and place in the fridge to cool.
4. Melt the chocolate and spread over the cooled mixture smoothly. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
5. Cut into squares and enjoy with a brew!

Tips

• Crush biscuits with the end of a rolling pin in a large bowl (you can try the ‘putting-them-in-a-foodbag-first’ method but I always find the bag splits). 
• Add chopped glace cherries or nuts for extra flavour and texture. 
• Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of water.

So, what are you waiting for? Especially when the finished product looks a whole lot like this:
