Why you’ll love this recipe

Tiffin takes me straight back to my childhood. It’s something my Gran used to make for me and my brothers for an after school treat. She even made it for Christmas for me recently (I was 37), and it tasted exactly how I remembered it!

Like many other tiffin recipes, the base typically stays the same but the add ins often change. I LOVE that there are so many possible variations! There’s Maltesers tiffin, cranberry white chocolate tiffin, and even Terry’s Chocolate Orange tiffin!

But this particular recipe goes straight to the heart of my childhood. Especially with the addition of malted milk biscuits and milk bottle sweets!

Ingredients

Confused about what ingredients to buy? Not sure about a substitution? Here’s everything you might need to know…

Butter – I prefer to use unsalted butter, but unsalted will work just as well if that’s all you have/prefer.
Golden Syrup – Brand doesn’t matter here. If you’re in the US, light corn syrup is the closest match, but the flavour will differ a little.
Chocolate – There is a lot of sweetness in this tiffin, hence why I use a mixture of milk and dark chocolate to balance it out. Of course, you’re welcome to use whatever combination you like best!
Malted Milk Biscuits – Try not to switch these out. The malty flavour really adds something special!
Chocolate Chip Cookies – I used Maryland cookies (affiliate link), but there are tons of cheaper alternatives available that will work just as well.
Munchies – Munchies are a British confectionery. A crisp biscuit enveloped with liquid caramel, encased in a milk chocolate shell. You could use Rolos (affiliate link) as an alternative if you like.
Milk Bottles – Milk bottles are chewy milk flavoured sweets. You can still get them from most major supermarkets. You can use similar instead if you like. (Think Swizzels Squashies or foam mushrooms.)

Emma’s top tips

Here are tips you’ll find helpful when making malted milk Munchies tiffin.

If you don’t have all of the add in ingredients, it doesn’t matter. Just switch it out with something you do have! Try to stick to roughly the same volume if you can though. (Not weight, as this will differ from ingredient to ingredient.)
Be gentle when melting the chocolate mixture. Chocolate is delicate and doesn’t like temperature change. If you heat it too quickly, it could split. This will make for unappetising tiffin.
You don’t have to put whole biscuits on the top. If you leave them off, it will be easier to cut your tiffin into smaller portions. (Which is better for little ones, and those who are trying to be good!)

Timings

Have limited time? Struggle with recipe timings? Or juggling around other things? Here’s some time managing info to make your life easier!

Melting the chocolate mixture should take about 5 minutes.
It will take around 10 minutes to crush the biscuits and mix them with the other add ins.
Mixing everything together, pressing into the tin, and topping with malted milk biscuits will take less than 5 minutes.
Fully setting the tiffin will take anywhere between 2-3 hours. (Although you can leave it in the fridge overnight if that’s easier.)

Please note, this recipe includes both UK metric and US Cup measurements.

Here is what you will need to make 13 large bars.

Ingredients

100g (1/3 Cup + 1 tbsp) Unsalted Butter
2 tbsp Golden Syrup
200g (7 oz) Dark Chocolate, broken into pieces
200g (7 oz) Milk Chocolate, broken into pieces
200g (7 oz) Malted Milk Biscuits
100g (3.5 oz) Choc Chip Cookies
125g (1 Cup) Munchies
100g (2/3 Cup) Milk Bottles, cut in half

Essential Equipment

20cm (8″) Square Baking Tin
2 x Large Glass Mixing Bowls
Saucepan *
Spatula
Rolling Pin
Metal Spoon

*Not needed if you are melting the chocolate in the microwave

Instructions

Firstly, line your tin and set to one side until needed.

Then add the butter (100g | 1/3 Cup + 1 tbsp), golden syrup (2 tbsp), dark and milk chocolate (200g | 7 oz of each) into a large glass bowl. Melt it gently by either setting over a pan of barely simmering water and stirring, or heating in the microwave in 10 second intervals. Stirring well after each time.

Allow to cool for a few minutes while we get on with the next part.

Next take 13 x biscuits out of the 200g (200g | 7 oz) malted milk biscuits and set them aside. Place the remaining ones into another large bowl along with the choc chip cookies (100g | 3.5 oz).

Then, using the end of a rolling pin, crush into smallish pieces/crumbs.

Then add the Munchies (125g | 1 Cup) and the halved milk bottles (100g | 2/3 Cup).

Pour the melted chocolate mixture into this bowl and give it a good mix, until everything is thoroughly coated.

Then tip the whole lot into your prepared tin, and press in firmly with the back of a metal spoon.

Finally, take those reserved malted milk biscuits and press them into the top, like the image below.

Then pop the whole thing into the fridge to set for 2-3 hours (or overnight).

Once set, you can slice it into bars (treat yourself to that extra little uncovered bit at the bottom!) and share with your loved ones.
