CHOCOLATE TIFFIN

Steps:

• Combine butter, sugar, golden syrup, and cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir until smooth, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in biscuits and raisins. Pour mixture onto a rimmed 8 x 12-inch jelly roll pan; press to flatten.
• Melt milk chocolate and dark chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour melted chocolate over base in the jelly roll pan.
• Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. Cut into 20 pieces.

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.

TIFFIN

Steps:

• Line the base and sides of a 20cm/8in cake tin with baking paper.
• Combine the golden syrup, butter, milk chocolate and dark chocolate in a medium-large heat-proof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir from time to time until the ingredients are nearly all melted and smooth. Remove from the heat, stir until smooth and leave to cool for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the crushed oaty biscuits with the honeycomb-centred chocolate and raisins in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl and, using a rubber spatula, mix to combine thoroughly. Scoop the mixture into the prepared tin and spread level using the back of a spoon. Chill for one hour until firm and then cut into portions to serve.

MALTESER TIFFIN

Steps:

• Line a 20cm square baking tin with baking parchment.
• Place the 200g of chocolate, butter and syrup in a heat-proof bowl and melt over a pan of barely simmering water or in the microwave. Once almost melted, remove from the heat and gently stir until any tiny bits chocolate have melted. Allow to cool a little.
• Place the biscuits and 35g of the Maltesers in a freezer bag, seal and crush with a rolling pin. You want mainly crumbs but a few small chunks of biscuit is fine.
• Top the crushed mixture and whole Maltesers (save 1 or 2 for yourself) to the melted chocolate and stir until everything is coated. Press into the prepared tin and make the topping.
• For the topping, melt the chocolate, butter and syrup as before and spread over the biscuit base.
• Cover the tin with cling film or foil and refrigerate for 1-2 hours before cutting into squares.
