In the British Raj, tiffin denoted the British custom of afternoon tea and is derived from "tiffing", an English colloquial term meaning to take a little drink. It's a sort of mouthful of a snack to be eaten around 3pm.

Dark chocolate actually has more antioxidant activity, polyphenols and flavanols than any other fruits tested (even blueberries)! #ChristmasGift

1

Break the chocolate into a small pan, then add the butter and agave. Heat very gently, stirring from time to time until smooth and glossy.
2

Place the shortbread in a large bowl and stir in the almonds, apricots, fudge, pumpkin seeds and Crunchie. Pour in the chocolate mixture and stir until evenly coated.
3

Tip the mixture into a 20cm loose-bottomed round or square cake tin, patting down carefully to get it right into the corners. Chill for at least 2 hours until set.
4

Cut into wedges or squares and serve.
