Notes
Hints and tips
- Don't turn your biscuits to sand. I like a mix of a fine crumb with some chunks. It's there for texture and crunch.
- Press the mixture in well, filling the corners of the tin.
- Allow your mini egg tiffin to firm up before slicing. Use a sharp, heavy knife so you get a clean cut.
- If your golden syrup comes in a tin, warm a spoon by dipping it in a mug of just boiled water for a few seconds. Dry it and use the hot spoon to scoop the syrup. This will make the transfer so much easier.
