As the crisp autumn air settles in and the days grow shorter, there’s nothing quite like cosying up with a comforting treat.

But who says comfort food can’t be nutritious too?

Today, we’re thrilled to share a mouth-watering recipe that’ll warm your soul and nourish your body: a raw goji, pecan and lemon “tiffin” that’s sure to become your new favourite indulgence.

A Twist on a Classic

Tiffin, that delectable no-bake treat, has long been a staple in British kitchens.

But this isn’t your gran’s tiffin recipe. Oh no, this is a thoroughly modern take that’ll have you reaching for seconds (and thirds).

Fancy a nibble that’s both scrumptious and wholesome? This raw tiffin ticks all the boxes.

It’s vegan-friendly, packed with nutrients, and – let’s be honest – utterly irresistible.

Plus, it’s dead easy to whip up, perfect for those dreary autumn days when you can’t be bothered with a full-on baking session.

The Star of the Show: Mr Popple’s Chocolate

At the heart of this delightful creation lies our very own Mr Popple’s Chocolate. We’ve been crafting artisanal bars since 2007, and our chocolate made from raw, organic cacao brings a depth of flavour that makes all the difference in recipes like this.

But don’t just take my word for it. Give this recipe a go, and you’ll see why chocolate enthusiasts have been raving about our bars for over 15 years.

A Symphony of Flavours (with Sugar-Free and Plant-Based Options)

This tiffin is a nothing short of a flavour explosion.

The tartness of goji berries plays beautifully against the buttery richness of pecans. And the lemon zest? It adds a zing that’ll wake up your palate faster than your morning cuppa.

But the real magic happens when these ingredients mingle with our melted chocolate. And here’s the best part – you can make this tiffin sugar-free and entirely plant-based by choosing the right Mr Popple’s chocolate bar.

For a sugar-free version, opt for our yacon-sweetened bars or our Pure Peruvian bar.

If you’re after a sweeter, more decadent treat, our plant-based, coconut blossom sugar-sweetened bars are the way to go.

Let’s explore some of the delicious options:

Atey Ate% (88% Raw Cacao) This yacon-sweetened, sugar-free chocolate bar is perfect for those who love intense dark chocolate. It’s rich, bold, and packed with antioxidants.
	Signature Seventy (70% Raw Cacao) Another yacon-sweetened option, this no sugar chocolate bar offers a balanced flavour with notes of caramel and red fruit. It’s a great all-rounder for your tiffin.
Pure Peruvian (100% Raw Cacao): For the ultimate sugar-free experience, this unsweetened bar delivers the pure, intense flavour of raw cacao.
	Creamy Mylk: If you’re after a sweeter, creamier option, this plant-based milk chocolate alternative is sweetened with coconut blossom sugar and offers a silky smooth texture.
Euphoric Orange: For a zesty twist, this yacon-sweetened, no added sugar chocolate bar with orange oil adds a delightful citrus note to your tiffin.
