Tiffin is a form of cake-like confection composed of crushed biscuits (most commonly digestive biscuits), sugar, syrup, raisins, chocolate, and cocoa powder,[1][2] often covered with a layer of melted striped chocolate. Unlike regular cakes, Tiffin does not require baking. Instead, following preparation of the mixture, the confection is chilled until set.[3] As a consequence the product may also be known as "fridge cake" or another similar term.

Products[edit]

The confectioner Cadbury produces a chocolate bar called Tiffin, consisting of biscuit pieces and raisins in chocolate, as part of its Dairy Milk range.[4]
