Malteser Chocolate Tiffin

62 replies

roomonsammacsbroom · 09/10/2005 16:26

Have been on the hunt for a recipe like this after dh tasted one when we were away fro the weekend and found this.

MALTESER CHOCOLATE TIFFIN

This is based on a recipe from the Blacksmith's Coffee Shop, Belsay, north of Newcastle. Use the best chocolate you can get (minimum 60% cocoa solids for dark; minimum 30% for milk).

100g quality dark chocolate
300g quality milk chocolate
100g butter

3 tbsp golden syrup
275g digestive biscuits, crushed
250g Maltesers

Melt the dark chocolate, 100g of milk chocolate, the butter and syrup together and then stir in the digestives. Gently stir in the Maltesers and tip into a lined Swiss-roll tin (23 x 33 cm), levelling out.

Melt the remaining 200g of milk chocolate and pour over, smoothing the surface carefully. Once cold, cut into pieces.

mmmmm chocolate heaven, I've added raisins and you could put other things in too.

Cooling in the fridge, will share when ready

Sammack---would you mind if I used this recipe in my cookbook? I will put you in the credits along with Blacksmiths Coffee Shop!

white chocolate is an abomination.

gscrym · 19/10/2005 17:38

Soupdragon, I have no choice, I'm allergic to caffeine which is in milk/dark chocolate. You get used to it.

roomonsammacsbroom · 30/10/2005 16:04

Only just seen this Sunchowder. Of course use it- I would be very honoured, but I claim no ownership of it, just my googling skills at work

I made it last week!! yum yum!!

Had not explored this part of the 'talk' area before...not I am always checking in case I fancy something on here for tea!!

JessicaandRebeccasmummy · 31/10/2005 20:10

right - got all the ingredients.... BUT.... whats the measurements in oz's? DH's scales are the old fashioned weights one side ingredients the other..... HELP!

SoupDragon · 31/10/2005 20:16

1 oz = 25g IIRC.

SoupDragon · 31/10/2005 20:17

(roughly speaking. It seems to be the conversion most recipes use)

And, because I'm bored, you get:

4oz quality dark chocolate
12oz quality milk chocolate
4oz butter

3 tbsp golden syrup
11oz digestive biscuits, crushed
10oz Maltesers

Probably.

JessicaandRebeccasmummy · 31/10/2005 20:19

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I can go off and make it now and maybe get to eat some before bed!!!

Flossam · 04/11/2005 00:19

i made this tonight and it is lovverly. So thanks very much. Dp's estimation of the estasblishment has increased after tasting this lovely chocolatey tiffin!!

SoupDragon · 04/11/2005 08:13

I was rather disappointed actually. I think the Maltesers need to be crushed to a certain extent otherwise the overpower the texture of the Tiffin. And make it fall apart more easily so you have to eat all the crumbs and make yourself feel sick...

starshaker · 04/11/2005 08:19

oh i made this the other day but used golden crunch biscuits instead with white and milk buttons and mixed it in with dark chocolate. dont know what it was like cos i made it at work and hadnt set by the time i left

SoupDragon · 04/11/2005 08:27

I used out of date bourbon biscuits because that's all I had Tiffin is good if you use ginger nuts too...

Redtartanlass · 24/11/2005 12:27

OMG - dp made this for me.......WOW unfotunately we ate the whole thing between us

So he's bought some more but is going to add raisens and stuff.....

Think I'd better miss Slimming World this week

I put cranberries in mine and it was lush. Also went down well at work. Must make more after tomorrows trip to the shops.
Might try it with ginger biscuits instead of digestives.

compo · 16/02/2006 20:06

Have just made a batch and they are yummy!! Can anyone tell me after they've been in the fridge for setting do they then stay in the fridge until eaten or go in an airtight container?

flutterbee · 13/07/2006 22:49

I just made this, and it is bloody delicious.

Hurrah for Mumsnet.

Bumperlicious · 04/09/2010 20:26

Just found this thread while doing a google search and thought I'd bump it again in case you have never heard of it. Honestly the stuff is like crack!

crikeybadger · 01/12/2010 11:49

Me too bumper- I'm gonna try this one out for the school Christmas bazaar on friday.

Only have dark choc but guess that won't matter.
