Vegan chocolate, Orange and Cranberry Tiffin

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 vegan chocolate, orange and cranberry 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 and I think it would be too much to add another flavour to this recipe. Because of this I swapped them for chocolate orange cream biscuits which I found in Home Bargains and are accidentally vegan. You can use regular bourbon biscuits if you want to, just check they are 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).

You could add any topping to decorate 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. I also added some dried cranberries which look like beautiful jewels and are really enticing. Some other things you could add are candies Orange pieces or orange sprinkles.

I was sent some of these products by Whitworths but was not required to write about them on Sweet Pea’s.

If you like this vegan chocolate, Orange and cranberry Tiffin recipe you may also like my vegan chocolate and plum upside down cake or my chocolate tiffin bars which are similar to this recipe but do not contain dried fruit. I know not everyone enjoys dried fruit in their baked goods so this is a great recipe for those people.
