TIFFIN

Tiffin is a Scottish morsel that needs to make its way to the US. Chocolate stuffed with cookie crumbs and dried fruit, it's simple to make and always hits the spot (taking me back to the Scottish Highlands in a heartbeat)! We love this tiffin recipe.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter cubed if cold
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons corn syrup
  • 4 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • cups crushed ginger snap crumbs
  • cup dried fruit raisins - traditional, dried cranberries and candied orange here
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, melt butter, sugar, corn syrup, and cocoa over low heat, mixing frequently. Add cookie crumbs and dried fruit - combine thoroughly. Spread mixture into 9x13 pan*.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips in thirty second intervals, stirring between each interval. Continue until chocolate is completely melted.**
  • Spread melted chocolate evenly over cookie mixture. Place in refrigerator for at least one hour. Bars may not reach all sides/edges of pan.
  • Remove from refrigerator. Let sit a few minutes before cutting into small squares. 
  • STORAGE: Can be stored in airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Can be stored in airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.

Notes

*Line a 9x13 (or large rectangle pan) with parchment paper or a silpat for easy removal. They're fine without, but the square probably won't look so perfect.
*It took me a total of 2 minutes.
