Sometimes nothing but a rich, decadent slab of chocolate will do. Although I’m partial to almost any tiffin, I prefer those with really dark chocolate. Here is the recipe I made the other day.

Ingredients

• 300g dark chocolate (I used a mix of 77% and 95% – I would recommend 75% minimum)
• 100g margarine (I use Flora)
• 50g syrup (I use maple if I’m feeling fancy, agave works too – use whatever you have)
• 100g nuts (I used almonds but choose whatever you prefer – pistachios are lovely too)
• 120g biscuit of choice
• 40g raisins or other dried fruit (chopped if large)
• Extra 80g dark chocolate for the topping

Method

• Break up the chocolate into a saucepan, add the margarine and melt on a low heat (take care not to burn)
• Add the syrup towards the end and combine. Turn off the heat.
• Break up the biscuits into the mix, add the raisins and nuts and stir to incorporate
• Line a baking tin with cling film, baking parchment or foil and add the mixture on top, flattening so it’s evenly distributed
• Slowly melt the remaining chocolate in the saucepan until smooth.
• Pour on top of the tiffin mix to create a thin layer over it.
• Place in the fridge for 2h to set.
• Remove from the tin and enjoy!
