Makes 12-16 bites, depending on how large you cut them!
1
Begin by soaking your California Raisins in the amaretto liqueur, allowing plenty of time for the liquid to absorb and plump the raisins up. I leave mine overnight in a covered bowl.
2
Melt the plain and milk chocolate gently over a low heat in a saucepan with the butter and golden syrup. Remove from the heat as soon as the chocolate has melted.
3
Break the digestive biscuits and amaretti into small chunks and add these to the melted chocolate mixture along with the almonds and cherries.
4
Tumble the chocolatey mixture into your prepared tin and allow to cool for an hour (less if your kitchen is cold!).
5
To make the topping, melt plain chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set above a pan of gently simmering water. The heat from the steam will melt the mixture perfectly.
6
Pour the topping over the set base of your Tiffin and adorn with festive sprinkles. Allow to cool completely and refrigerate until firm enough to cut into neat(ish) squares.
