Ingredients

120 g digestive biscuits - 8 biscuits
50 g butter
25 g golden syrup - 1 heaped tbsp
15 g cocoa - 1 heaped tbsp
120 g chocolate - mix of milk & plain
pinch salt - if using unsalted butter

Instructions

First, crush the biscuits, leaving some small chunks for bite. You can use a food processor, put the biscuits in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin, or put in a bowl and use the end of a rolling pin or a mug to crush them.
120 g digestive biscuits
Put the rest of the ingredients in a saucepan and heat gently, to melt the butter and chocolate. Mix well to combine everything. If you prefer, heat gently in the microwave in short bursts.
50 g butter, 25 g golden syrup, 15 g cocoa, 120 g chocolate
Add the biscuit crumbs to the chocolate mixture and mix well to coat and combine.
Put the chocolate tiffin mixture into a prepared, lined square baking tin. Spread out evenly, working the mixture into the corners, and pressing it down well.
Chill in the fridge for at least two hours or overnight.
Lift the tiffin out of the tray with the lining paper. Cut into 16 squares with a sharp, heavy knife.

Notes

Your tiffin should keep in an airtight tin for up to a week.

Hints & Tips

Try to keep some texture in the crushed biscuits. 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 to firm up before slicing. 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.
