Irresistible Tiffin Bars: A No-Bake Delight! Tiffin bars are the ultimate treat for those who love a combination of textures and flavors in every bite. These no-bake bars are a delightful mix of crunchy biscuits and a rich chocolate coating, creating a dessert that’s as easy to make as it is delicious. Originating from Scotland, tiffin bars are a quick fix for any sweet tooth and a perfect companion to your afternoon tea or coffee. Whether you’re making them for a party, a gift, or just because, this recipe is endlessly customizable and always a crowd-pleaser. Let’s get started and whip up a batch of these indulgent treats!

I remember buying slices of tiffin bars from the school canteen. To be honest it was never one of my favourite things to buy (I loved the cookies because every day they’d be a different flavour) but I did occasionally buy them. I probably haven’t eaten tiffin since then even though they are so easy to make but one day I just really wanted to eat some. Some tiffin bars contain dried fruit and sometimes people but things like Maltesers in. I prefer just biscuit and chocolate myself.

You can make a vegan version which just uses accidentally Vegan versions of the ingredients you’d usually use. Many bourbon cream biscuits and also digestives are accidentally vegan. Just check the packet to confirm they don’t contain milk or egg which are usually in biscuits. Dark chocolate is sometimes (especially supermarket own brand versions) but again, it’s important to check the ingredients list on the back. If you are not in the UK you could use Oreos instead of Bourbon Creams.

All that’s involved is a bit of biscuit crushing and some melting so they’re really easy to make. This would be a really great recipe to try with kids because the messiest part is the melted chocolate. If you liked my Custard Cream bars you’ll love these tiffin bars!

Ingredients

  • 110g Vegan Butter (or regular)

  • 2 tbsp Caster Sugar

  • 2 tbsp Golden Syrup

  • 300g Bourbon Creams Biscuits

  • 200g Digestive Biscuits

Directions

  • Crush the bourbon creams into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or put them in a sandwich bag and bash with a wooden rolling pin. Crush the digestive biscuits into chunks and mix into the bourbon cream crumbs.
  • In a saucepan melt the vegan butter with the sugar and golden syrup. Pour this over the biscuit crumbs and mix well. Spread the mixture into a baking tin (right into the corners!) and press it down to help it all stick together a bit better.
  • Melt the vegan chocolate in the microwave in 30 second bursts. Pour over the biscuit and cover the whole thing. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Cut into pieces – I made ours into 10 large slices but you could make yours smaller if you want smaller portion sizes.
