Directions

Whitworths challenged me to put a modern twist on their original tiffin recipe for Easter. I love ‘veganising’ things and I like to try and show how easy it is if you just know a few little tricks and tips! This chocolate, orange and cranberry vegan tiffin is perfect as an Easter treat and is great fun for kids to help make.

Their original recipe uses ginger nuts but I’m not a big fan of them so I swapped them for chocolate orange cream biscuits which I found in Home Bargains and are accidentally vegan. I then topped it with cranberries and a chopped up orange cream chocolate bar which was also in Home Bargains although you could use any vegan chocolate Orange bar (I especially like the one by Morrisons that contains little candied Orange pieces). Please note that Bourneville Orange is no longer vegan.

You could add any topping to the tiffin bars. As well as the chocolate Orange bar I added some dr Oetker unicorn mix sprinkles as they are vegan and add a lovely bit of colour. Some other things you could add are candies Orange pieces or orange sprinkles.
