Chocolate tiffin is a classic British dessert favored for its delectable taste and versatility. This no-bake treat finds its origins in the early 20th century and has evolved over time. Consisting of layers of biscuit crumbs, melted chocolate, butter, and dried fruits, chocolate tiffin is a delight that can be tailored to individual preferences. The biscuit base provides a firm foundation, while the chocolate ganache layer offers a smooth and velvety texture. The dried fruits, such as raisins or cherries, impart a touch of chewy sweetness, creating a symphony of flavors. Its simplicity in preparation makes it a favorite among home cooks and is often enjoyed during celebrations or as an indulgent snack.

Steps:
- Butter and line a 15-20cm tin with baking parchment. In a large saucepan, melt the butter, sugar, syrup and cocoa. Stir through the biscuits and raisins.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and press down, then smooth the top with the back of a spoon. Microwave both chocolates in short 20 second bursts, stirring frequently, until melted. Pour them over the mixture in the tin. Use a palette knife or spoon to smooth over, so it's completely coated in chocolate.
- Put the tin into the fridge and leave for about 2 hrs to set, or overnight. Run a kitchen knife under the hot tap then cut into squares.

Steps:
- Grease and line an 8 inch square cake tin. It's essential that you do this. Especially when NOT using a loose-bottomed cake tin. Making it much easier to remove from the tin.
- Place the Butter, Sugar, Cocoa Powder and Syrup in a large pan and heat gently on a medium heat until melted and fully combined.
- Remove from the heat and add the mixed dried fruit, glace cherries, and crushed biscuits. Or pour everything into a large mixing bowl. Stir until well covered with the cocoa mixture. Be patient, this will take time. Don't be tempted to add any additional liquid, you'll be sorry if you do, it just won't set.
- Add the mixture into the prepared square cake tin. Firmly pressing down with the back of a spoon. Place in the fridge for at least an hour, to cool and set completely?.
- Melt the milk/dark chocolate in a clean bowl over a pan of simmering water. Take off the heat and allow to cool a little.
- Once the fruit mixture has set, cover with the chocolate. Ensuring all the fruit mixture is covered. Leave in a very cool place for a couple of hours to allow the chocolate to set. You can place the tiffin in the fridge to set, but don't leave it there too longe or you run the risk of fat particles in the chocolate turning white. Although still edible, it is unsightly. Once this happens, there's no way of getting rid of them. Unless you cover with more chocolate.
- Before the chocolate sets completely. You can score along the chocolate with a sharp knife to make slicing easier.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter, sugar, syrup and cocoa. Add the biscuits and raisins when melted. Stir to combine.
- Pour mixture into a small round tin and press down. Melt the cooking chocolate and pour over the mixture in the tin.
- Pop the tin into the fridge and leave for about 1 hour to set.
Tips:
- Use a good quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the taste of your tiffin. Use a high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overcook the oats: The oats should be cooked until they are just tender, but not mushy. Overcooked oats will make the tiffin too soft and crumbly.
- Use a variety of dried fruit and nuts: The combination of different dried fruit and nuts adds flavor and texture to the tiffin. You can use any type of dried fruit or nuts that you like, but some popular choices include raisins, cranberries, apricots, walnuts, and almonds.
- Press the tiffin firmly into the pan: This will help to keep it from crumbling when you cut it into slices.
- Chill the tiffin before slicing: This will make it easier to cut into clean slices.

Chocolate tiffin is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover chocolate and dried fruit, and it can be customized to your own liking.
