Place the digestive biscuits into a large plastic bag, seal and bash up to a crumb using a rolling pin. Empty the crumbs into a large mixing bowl.
Place 200g of the milk chocolate into a glass bowl and add the butter, syrup and cocoa powder. Place the bowl over a pan of boiling water and stir until melted together.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the digestive crumbs and stir until well combined.
Tip the biscuit mixture into the tray and using the back of a metal spoon spread the mixture, taking care to even it out and press into the corners. Place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, break up the remaining 200g milk chocolate into a clean bowl and place over a pan of boiling water, stir until melted.
Remove the biscuit tin from the refrigerator and pour over the melted chocolate. Return to the fridge until the chocolate has solidified before removing and cutting into squares.
Once set, remove the tray from the fridge and the tiffin from the tray. Cut the tiffin into 18 even sized biscuits, place in an airtight container and store in the fridge.
Notes
This recipe can be added to easily with the addition of dried fruits or some crushed up honeycomb. Simply stir through the biscuit.When using a bain marie (a bowl placed over a pan of boiling water) to melt the chocolate, ensure the water does not come too high up the pan. The steam from the boiling water will melt the chocolate but you don't want to risk getting any in the pan otherwise the chocolate will seize and become grainy.If you want to reduce the sweetness, use a 50:50 split of milk and dark chocolate in both the biscuit base and in the chocolate topping. The dark chocolate balances out the sweetness of the biscuit.
