Chocolate Cracknel

3 3/4 ozs of Puffed Wheat
3 1/2 ozs of Margarine
10 ozs golden syrup (I presume golden)
1 1/4 ozs of cocoa (I presume powder)
5 ozs of Dried Milk

Melt margarine and syrup together till clear then add dry ingredients, keep on heat till glossy.

Warm wheat then pour on liquid. I remember that you had to let it set then the cooks would serve it with little balls of cyclinder shape ice cream.

Chocolate Tiffin (also known as Chocolate Concrete)
(makes one cob)

4 oz butter or margarine
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons drinking chocolate
1 tablespoon golden syrup
2 tablespoons raisins
8oz Rich Tea or plain biscuits
5oz Bournville or good quality milk chocolate

Melt the butter and sugar with the syrup in a large pan. Add the raisins and drinking chocolate and bring to the boil. Allow to bubble gently for two to three minutes to thicken a little. Meanwhile, crush the biscuits with a rolling pin. Alternatively, you can grind them in a food processor to give crumbs, depending on whether you prefer a smooth or chunky effect. Don't leave the biscuit pieces
too large, however, or the finished slab will tend to break up when cut. Mix the crumbs well into the melted mixture, coating thoroughly, press into a lined 7ins by 11ins shallow Swiss roll tin and level out, pushing down the mixture well. Melt the chocolate carefully and spread over the top. Leave to set in a cool place then cut into
15 or 24 pieces with a sharp knife. (Other curious names for this recipe include rocky road squares, chocolate concrete or the rather dubious sounding cement!)

 

hope it helps!
