Yeah, I'm sort of glued to it at the mo, it keeps me from going insane.

Well, I'm kidding, of course. I love all of the recipes you post!

What is the American equivalent of golden syrup again? I really want to make these.

Light corn syrup but it's not as thick or tasty. You could always make your own.

How can you forget a tiffin ? These are not only delicious but so easy to make. I like mine to have lots
of nuts (especially pecan) in them.

A lot of grocery stores sell Lyle's Golden Syrup here. Look in the international isle. It has a richer taste than light corn syrup.

I've thought of crushing ginger snaps and mixing with melted chocolate. Like that?
Does the golden syrup make them more chewy?
I have ginger snaps-no chocolate!

I have to go back out and get the biscuits. I thought biscuits was another name for cookies and I bought the wrong kind.

I would describe a tiffin as being moist and fudgy, not chewy. You could also substitue the Golden syrup with maple syrup if you like.
