Tiffin

If there was ever a good way to make use of leftovers then tiffin has got to be it. Take some stale biscuits, add a few stock cupboard ingredients and a bar of chocolate and hey-presto you have transformed something inedible into something delicious! It is very rich so not so great in terms of nutrition but brilliant in terms of food waste, especially as it keeps for ages. Horrah! Let's eat tiffin and save the planet!

Tiffin

8 oz (225g) stale biscuits

4 oz (110g) butter

1 good tablespoon golden syrup

8 oz mixed dried fruit

2 oz glace cherries, chopped

200g milk chocolate

Place the biscuits in a bag and bash with a rolling pin until crumbed. Melt together the butter and syrup in a pan over a low heat. Combine the biscuit, butter mix and fruit and stir well. Grease a suitable tin and press the mixture into it and level. Refrigerate for at least half an hour until solid. Melt the chocolate over a pan of hot water then spread over the biscuit base, level out and return to the fridge. Once solid, cut the tiffin into small squares and transfer to an airtight container. Keeps well.
