    Taurus's recipe is good - I'd be inclined to add coconut and glace cherries.
    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.
  • I have been sorting things out in my new kitchen and decided the biscuit box needed emptying as there were more broken biscuits and crumbs than whole biscuits. Now I have a large sandwich bag full of broken biscuits and don't know what to do with them other than feeding the birds! Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    Use them as a base for cheesecake, sprinkle on top of ice cream, or mix with fruit and whipped cream as a sort of alternative eton mess.
    Personally being a bit of a piggy, I'd sit down with the bag and a spoon, yum!

    My mum used to make a refridgerator cake using melted butter, syrup, cocoa and a spoonful or two of soft brown sugar. Melt together and then stir in the biscuit crumbs. Press into a cake tin, cool and cut into slices to eat. If you have any knocking around a coating of chocolate is fantastic with this as are a few raisins or chopped up dried apricots in the biscuit crumb mix. I think I might need to go and make some myself.

    I make this when we get to the end of the biscuit tin, with all the broken bits and crumbs and it's delish! I usually use Tesco value chocolate to make it, it's something like 23p a bar or similar.

    Am currently liking the ice cream topping idea. Very much. :D
