This easy Chocolate Tiffin is a rich, crunchy, no-bake British traybake made with crushed digestive biscuits, golden syrup, cocoa powder, raisins, and a smooth milk chocolate topping. It is simple to make, perfect for a snack or an easy dessert.

What Is Chocolate Tiffin?

Chocolate tiffin is a no-bake chocolate dessert  popular in the UK and Scotland, sometimes called chocolate fridge cake or no-bake chocolate biscuit cake because it sets in the fridge rather than being baked.

I like this recipe because it comes together quickly, and does not need an oven.

Why You’ll Love This Chocolate Tiffin

• Easy no-bake dessert
• Made with simple ingredients
• Perfect with afternoon tea
• Rich, crunchy, and chocolaty

You'll Need

• Biscuits: I use Digestive biscuits. Do not crush them too finely; a mix of crumbs and small chunks gives the best texture.
• Butter: It helps bind the biscuit mixture and adds richness to this treat.
• Golden syrup: This is a popular sweetener used in the United Kingdom. However, if you can't find it, use honey or corn syrup instead.
• Cocoa Powder: I use it to add a rich chocolate flavor to this dessert.
• Raisins: Raisins have that sweet taste, which I like, and they go so well with biscuits and chocolate.
• Chocolate: To create the classic chocolate layer on top. I prefer milk chocolate over dark chocolate because it’s sweeter; however, you can use any chocolate you like in this recipe. You could also use a mix of half dark and half milk chocolate.

Complete information on ingredients and quantities is in the recipe card at the end of the post.

How to Make Chocolate Tiffin

Let me break down the process:

Preparation: Before you start, make sure to line a 20x20 cm baking pan with parchment paper.

One (crush the biscuits): Put the biscuits in a Ziplock bag and beat with a rolling pin until crushed. You can also put them in a food processor and beat them until crushed.

Two: In a large saucepan, add butter, sugar, and golden syrup over medium heat and mix until the butter is melted.

Tip: Make sure to melt the butter on medium heat to avoid burning it.

Three: Turn off the heat, add the crushed biscuits, raisins, and cocoa and stir until incorporated well.

Four: Press the mixture into the pan FIRMLY until it is an even layer. Put it in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.

Five (melt the chocolate): Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl add the milk and microwave in 20-second intervals until melted.

Tip: You can use a double broiler to melt the chocolate.

Seven (add chocolate topping): Take out the mixture from the freezer and pour your melted chocolate mixture on top.

Eight (chill): Put the tiffin back into the fridge until it becomes firm (at least 2 hours). Cut into squares for serving.

Pro Tips For The Perfect Tiffin

• I prefer to line my baking pan with parchment paper so the tiffin comes out easily.
• Use high-quality chocolate to get the best flavor.
• For the best texture, don’t over-crush the biscuits. A mix of fine crumbs and small chunks works perfectly.
• To get a clean cut, chill the tiffin for at least 2 hours to let it firm up.
• Store tiffin in the fridge for up to 5 days in a well-sealed container.
