Milk Chocolate Tiffin

8 oz rich tea biscuits
4 oz margarine
1 1/2 tbsp syrup
3 dsrtsp drinking chocolate
1 dsrtsp sugar
2 oz glaced cherries
2 oz sultanas
1 1/2 oz walnuts
Good quality milk or dark chocolate to cover (don't skimp and get that rubbish "scotbloc" stuff, Grandma didn't use it so neither should you!)

  1. Melt the margarine with the sugar, syrup and drinking chocolate in a large pan (big enough to hold all ingredients - except the topping!)
  2. Bash/smash the rich tea biscuits into chunks no larger than a modern 5 pence piece
  3. Add the bashed biscuits, dried fruit and nuts to the large pan and mix well
  4. Spread contents evenly in the baking tray and allow to cool
  5. Once cool, melt the chocolate (either over simmering water or in the microwave) and then spread over the base

Cutting tip: Before the chocolate sets completely score or mark where you intend to cut into pieces.

(makes enough for one standard tray 23cm x 32cm)
