Since the Gorgeous Blonde made me a tin of chocolate tiffin for Easter, and since whenever I'm not eating it I'm thinking about eating it (drooling out of the side of my mouth like Homer Simpson), here's the recipe (acquired by the Blonde via Sarah's grandma):
Ingredients
4oz margarine
2oz caster sugar
1oz drinking chocolate or cocoa powder
1tbs golden syrup
¾ cup raisins
6oz crushed digestive biscuits (seal in a sandwich bag and whack it with a wooden spoon!)
300g block of cooking chocolate (milk or plain)
Method
1. Prepare a greased flat tin (approx 11” x 5”)
2. Melt margarine in a saucepan, then add sugar, stir in well but DO NOT LET IT BOIL!
3. Keeping stirring – add cocoa powder and syrup. The mix will be liquid.
4. Add crushed biscuits and raisins. Mix in well.
5. Turn out the mixture into tin and press down well, especially into the corners.
6. Break up the cooking chocolate and melt in the microwave or a saucepan – remembering to check and stir it every 30 seconds or so until completely melted.
7. Pour liquid chocolate over the praline and spread it smoothly with a knife.
8. Leave to cool – then put in the fridge until totally cold – I find it easier if you score the lines across the surface of the squares you are going to cut it into, before the choc goes rock solid! Then you can cut all the way through the mixture into squares.
9. Turn out of the tin carefully, using a warmed knife if you experience difficulty.
10. EAT!!! Be careful, it's very addictive! Mmmmmmmmm… it can be frozen as well and saved for a later date...
