Kickstart your New Year celebrations with this festive, nourishing and deliciously indulgent tiffin recipe!
Serves 10 – 20 depending on your portion size!
Ingredients
- 125g butter
- 3 TBSP honey
- 5 heaped TSP cacao (note – not cocoa)
- 180g biscuits (digestive, rich tea), crumbled and crushed
- 75g nuts (pecans, pistachios, almonds), roughly chopped
- 30g raisins
- 50g dried cranberries
- Zest and juice of 1 large or 2 small oranges
- 200g dark chocolate
Methods
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over a gentle heat. Stir in the honey, cacao and orange juice and combine well. Remove from the heat.
- Crumble the biscuits in a large bowl – you want a mixture of powder as well as chunks for texture. Add the biscuits, chopped nuts, raisins, cranberries and orange zest (preserve a little for decoration) into the mix and combine well.
- Line a 20cm baking dish with greaseproof paper and pour your mixture in. Press it down well with the back of a large spoon until compact and smooth.
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl and pour over the mixture, smoothing out so the base is completely covered. Sprinkle over a little orange zest (nuts and cranberries too if you wish) and leave to cool for a couple of hours in the fridge before chopping up and serving.
Enjoy!
