The dish is typically prepared with biscuits or crackers, cocoa, butter, sugar and solidified milk.

[1] In 1967 a woman accidentally created the recipe[citation needed]; she tried to cook chocolate but added too much sugar, which liquified the mixture into a syrup.

To remedy this, the woman tried to make the flavour less strong by adding some biscuits, so she broke them into pieces, mixed them with the syrup and when it cooled, the first Tinginys (also known as "Rocky road") was created.

Later modifications occurred, such as letting the mixture cool down and rolling it on a plastic bag, and then cutting it into pieces.

People decided to call it "lazy"[citation needed] because it was very easy and quick to prepare.
