Tiffin Recipe

I love tiffin and this is the first time I have made it for myself,  it is really easy and delicious.  The recipe is very rich so you need to cut it into small pieces.  It goes great with an intense cup of coffee.

You will need a large glass or metal mixing bowl.  A saucepan with hot water.  A square tray and some clingfilm.

100gram bar of dark vegan chocolate
125grams of vegan margarine ( i use vitalite)
125grams broken of biscuits (i used digestives but most biscuits will work)
1 tablespoon of Sweet Freedom or Golden syrup
100grams of dried fruit (I used a mix of cherries and figs)
100grams of toasted nuts (I would recommend that you use nuts you like,  I used toasted hazelnuts and pistachios)
5-10 chopped up pistachios for decoration (optional).

Put the hot water in saucepan and bring to boil, put the mixing bowl on top of the water (make sure it is not touching the water, you want the steam to heat the bowl).

Break up the chocolate into pieces and add to the bowl along with the margarine and sweet freedom or golden syrup. Allow it to melt.

Add in the broken biscuits, dried fruit and nuts. Stir throughly until it is mixed really well. Remove from heat.

Line the baking tray with cling film, overlapping the edges.

Pour in the mixture and spread out evenly. Sprinkle on the decoration, I used chopped pistachios.

Allow to cool for one hour and then place in the fridge for a further couple of hours to set.

Remove from fridge and cut into small squares.
