Tiffin is a common delicacy in our house, I often rustle together this easy peasy classic for a weekend treat. I imagine this would be the perfect recipe to include the kiddos with as nothing actually has to go in the oven, and nothing can really go too far wrong (don’t hold me to that when you end up with melted chocolate on your ceiling). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have added the festive essentials of cranberry and orange in this batch, but the cranberries can easily be changed out for any other dried fruit such as raisins or dried cherries and the orange is not imperative (but it takes it from standard chocolatey goodness to Christmas chocolatey goodness, which we all need more of at the moment!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ingredients I’ve used here are all vegan and gluten free, but alternatives may not be so please check for any allergens you may have. I really rate the Morrisons own brand dairy free chocolate which also happens to be gluten and nut free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
You will need: <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
150g of vegan digestives<\/li>
50g spread <\/li>
2tbs brown sugar<\/li>
2tbs golden syrup<\/li>
60g cranberries<\/li>
180g vegan chocolate<\/li>
2tbs of JimJams vegan dark chocolate orange spread<\/li>
One large orange<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Method<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Melt together the spread, brown sugar and golden syrup. When the sugar is fully dissolved add in the cranberries and juice from half the orange. Let the cranberries sit in the warm sweet syrup until they’re plump, I usually like to wait 5-10 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smash up the digestives until you have a mixture of crumbs and larger chunks, add into the cranberry syrup mixture and mix well. The mixture should feel sticky but not wet, and should stick together well. Spread it out onto your dish pre lined with plenty of greaseproof paper, make sure you have enough to lift up the sides as you’ll use this to lift out the finished product once its set! Pop this into the fridge to set for at least half an hour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Once the biscuit syrup base is solid melt the dairy free chocolate and pour over the base, spread thickly across the whole base and wiggle the dish to get it right into the corners! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next microwave the JimJams vegan dark chocolate orange spread until its liquid, this wont take long so keep a close eye on it! Zest the orange and add into the liquid JimJam spread. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dollop (technical term) the JimJam spread mixture across the first layer of chocolate and using a cocktail stick swirl the two colours together. Bare in mind that the JimJams spread wont set solid like the first layer of chocolate, so if you marble it together well the texture differences in the top layer will be lovely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set in the fridge for about half an hour until the top starts to harden. Remove the tiffin from the dish using the greaseproof paper and cut into approximately 1 inch square pieces. Put back into the fridge to continue setting and allow about another half an hour, or as long as you can resist! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Dust with icing sugar and edible glitter for extra Christmas magic or enjoy as it is! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
