Relive childhood memories with this nostalgic No-Bake Malted Milk Munchies Tiffin. Packed with malted milk biscuits, chewy milk bottle sweets and Munchies, this easy treat brings back the flavours of younger days. Read on for a simple, fuss-free recipe and tips to make perfect tiffin every time.
Why you’ll love this recipe
Tiffin is the ultimate retro treat — sweet, chewy and wonderfully indulgent. It’s a no-bake recipe that’s quick to prepare and keeps well, making it perfect for sharing or packing as a nostalgic gift. The malted milk biscuits and milk bottle sweets give this version a distinctive malty, creamy edge that sets it apart from standard chocolate tiffins.
The base method is flexible, so you can swap mix-ins depending on what you have in the cupboard. This recipe uses a mix of dark and milk chocolate to balance sweetness, plus Munchies and chopped milk bottles for texture and flavour.
Ingredients
Everything you need for around 13 bars. Substitutions are noted where relevant.
- Butter – 100g unsalted butter recommended. If you only have salted, reduce any extra salt elsewhere.
- Golden syrup – 2 tbsp. In the US, light corn syrup can be used though the flavour will differ slightly.
- Chocolate – 200g dark and 200g milk chocolate, broken into pieces. Using both balances sweetness; feel free to adjust to taste.
- Malted milk biscuits – 200g. The malted flavour is important here, so try not to substitute unless necessary.
- Chocolate chip cookies – 100g. Any crunchy choc chip biscuits work well.
- Munchies – 125g. These caramel-filled chocolate treats add texture; Rolos are a good alternative.
- Milk bottle sweets – 100g, halved. Chewy milk-flavoured sweets provide contrast; other similar chewy candies can be used.
Top tips
- Swap-ins are fine — aim for similar volume so the texture stays balanced.
- Melt the chocolate gently (double boiler or short microwave bursts). Rapid heating can split the chocolate.
- If you prefer easier slicing, skip whole biscuits on top and press smaller pieces in instead.
Timings
- Chocolate melting: ~5 minutes.
- Biscuit crushing and mixing add-ins: ~10 minutes.
- Assembling and pressing into the tin: under 5 minutes.
- Chill time: 2–3 hours to fully set (or overnight).
