Chocolate Tiffin Recipe Mary Berry Food

CHOCOLATE TIFFIN

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.

CHOCOLATE TIFFIN

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.

EASY ROCKY ROAD

Steps:

• Grease and line an 18cm square brownie tin with baking paper.
• Place 200g digestive biscuits in a freezer bag and bash with a rolling pin or just the side of your fist until they're broken into a mixture of everything between dust and 50p-sized lumps. Set aside.
• In a large saucepan melt 135g butter or margarine, 200g dark chocolate and 2-3 tbsp golden syrup over a gentle heat stirring constantly until there are no or almost no more lumps of chocolate visible, then remove from the heat. Leave to cool.
• Take the biscuits, 100g mini marshmallows and up to 100g of additional ingredients (dried fruit, nuts, popcorn, honeycomb), if you like, and stir into the chocolate mixture until everything is completely covered.
• Tip the mixture into the lined baking tin, and spread it out to the corners. Chill for at least 2 hrs then dust with icing sugar and cut into 12 fingers.
