- Combine the chocolate mixture with the biscuits, stirring well for an even consistency.
- Transfer the mixture to a tin lined with baking paper, spreading it out evenly. Allow to cool and transfer to the fridge to firm up for about 4 hours or over night.

Notes
Storage
Keeps in an airtight tin for up to a week. In warm weather, store in a sealed container in the fridge to avoid the tiffin melting into a chocolatey mess. Let your mincemeat tiffin come up to room temperature before serving.Hints and tips
- Try to keep some texture in the digestives. I like a mix of a fine crumb with some chunks.
- Press the mixture down well, taking care with the corners and edge of the tin.
- Allow the mincemeat tiffin to firm up before slicing. This will take longer than some other tiffin recipes, as the mincemeat is very moist. Use a sharp, heavy knife so you get a clean cut.
- If using golden syrup from a tin, warm the 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. It will just slide off.
