I thought I may as well do soemthing whilst sittign around at home, and thought of tray bakes - not that they'll last long.
I used to ahve one recipe which was chocolate, raisins and I think it was marshmallows, and soemthing else.
Any suggestions

Mars's LDC works very well as a tray bake.

Flapjacks?

Custard Creams

6oz Plain Flour
6oz Margarine
2oz Custard Powder
2oz Icing Sugar
Vanilla essence/extract
Pinch of Salt

Filling (butter icing)

4oz Icing Sugar
2oz Margarine

Cream the butter and sugar.
Mix the flour, custard powder and salt together and work this mixture into the creamed butter/sugar mixture.
Add the vanilla and mix well.
Roll into small balls and place onto a greased baking sheet.
Press each ball with a fork to flatten slightly.
Bake 15-20 mins at 180*C.
Cool then join with the butter icing.

Right well i have tried Tiffin before, as my aunt gave me a recipe - the same one as yours Lucewitch, and it was all runny in the tray, wouldn't set at all, however, I shall try again
As for shortbread, Aitch have you seen how difficult it is to make. I can never get enough strength in my hands to knead the bloody stuff.

I have a no-cook one using crushed up biscuits - will have a hunt around.

CHOCOLATE DELIGHT

100g plain chocolate
100g butter or margarine

Melt these 2 together.

Add a small (200g) tin of CONDENSED milk - treacly stuff you would not buy for any other reason.

Stir in 100g raisins and 200g crushed digestive biscuits.

Press into a tin and cool in fridge, cut into squares when set. Best kept in fridge else it softens.

This is quite a small quantity, double the above amounts for a 12x8 inch traybake tin.

This is from my MIL, to give her fair credit!
