    I have a very large amount of treacle toffees (Aquired from Woolworths very cheap when they were closing) and though they are perfectly fine I've gotten bored with them, are there any recipes I can use them in?

    So far all I've come up with is a sweet version of cheese straws using melted treacle toffees in instead of cheese.

    How about a version of Banoffee pie? Crumbled digestives for the base, sliced bananas then layers of treacle toffee sweets melted on top.

    I use toffees in Twinks Hobnob recipe or how about melting them down with some cream and a little butter to make a rich toffee pouring sauce.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light
