    I must try this!

    BUT, you can also do something VERY nice with a Cadbury's chocolate finger.....I prefer the plain choc ones if you can find them.

    Bite off both tips and use it as a straw in brandy. When full, eat. Fantastic end of dinner party fun!

    :cool:

    I wondered what you were going to suggest as I stated reading the post.:eek:
    I have to say that I like the idea of brandy soaked Choccy fingers.
    Might have a go!
    Could get drunk very quickly!

    Where does everyone get these ideas from? I've obviously not lived!
  • I'm sure our Tesco's still does them :confused:
    It's nice to be nutty but's more important to be nice

    OMG - have some white chocolate fingers coming in my Sainsbury delivery tomorrow but as I don't like brandy am going to try this with Tia Maria :T

    I love this thread. The things people do with chocolate biscuits. I'll keep checking for more ways to eat and drink.
    Such fun!
  • The only problem with the Tim Tam explosion/shoot/slam/whatever ... (lol!) ... is that a whole packet can *disolve* very quickly (especially if you have friends round who simply MUST try it ....), lol.

    However, the bonus is that obviously the disolving process evaporates all calories. :rolleyes: :p

    Anything broken has no calories and chocolate is a universal colour so has little or no calories, see diet below:
    Dieting Under Stress

    This diet is designed to help you cope with the stress that builds up during the day:

    BREAKFAST
    1/4 Grapefruit
    1 slice wholemeal toast - dry
    8 oz skimmed milk

    LUNCH
    4 oz lean, grilled chicken breast
    4 oz steamed spinach
    1 cup Herb tea
    1 chocolate digestive biscuit

    MID-AFTERNOON SNACK
    Rest of packet of chocolate biscuits
    2 pints double choc-chip ice cream with
    1 jar hot fudge sauce
    Nuts, Cherries and whipped cream

    LATE EVENING SNACK
    Large frozen cheesecake eaten straight from the freezer.

    Rules For This Diet

    1. If you eat something and no one sees you eat it, it has no calories.
    2. If you drink diet coke with a chocolate bar, the calories in the chocolate bar are cancelled out by the diet coke.
    3. When you eat with someone else, the calories don’t count if they eat more than you.
    4. Food used for medicinal purposes never count i.e. hot chocolate, brandy, hot buttered crumpets or Sara Lee cheesecake.
    5. If you fatten up everyone else around you, you look thinner.
    6. Cinema-related food such as Toffees, buttered popcorn, Minstrels, Smarties, Mars bars etc, do not have additional calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one’s personal food fuel.
    7. Biscuit pieces contain no calories, the process of breaking causes calorie leakage.
    8. Things licked off knives and spoons have no calories if you are in the process of preparing something, e.g. chocolate spread on a knife when making a sandwich.
    9. Foods that are the same colour have the same calorific value, e.g. spinach and mint choc-chip ice cream, “All-Bran” and chocolate.

    Note:Chocolate is a universal colour and may be substituted for any other food colour.
