    Sorry to just jump in here, but it's so exciting. Is it ready yet? Have you tried it yet? I can't wait. Personally though, I do think you are very brave, I couldn't try it.

    About 10 more minutes. I'm not actually looking forward to it - I'm a bit scared. It's all JM's fault anyway. :whistle:

    How on earth am I going to get the carbonised golden syrup off my nice used-only-once sandwich tin? :confused:

    I'll let you know what it tastes like soon - it's still at about 4 million °C.

    Well JM, if I had a hat, I'd take it off. :T

    Not only was that good, it was actually very good. I could hardly taste the actual cheese, but because it's full of raisins and dates (and toffee), it went really well. :drool:

    That settles it then. The crumble will happen. I still think the STC needs to go in with the crumble, not the apple though.

    I dare someone else to try a "MBE's special Sticky Toffee Cheese Apple"! :rotfl:

    You still got some STC left? My Morrisons didn't have any today........I was gutted!! :sad:

    It did look good though - another culinary triumph!!

    (A nice long soak in soapy water should sort that tin out for you..no scrubbers required!!! :grin:)

    I'd get that sandwich tin straight into a nice hot bowl of soapy water and soak it overnight Mr BE. Glad the apple turned out ok, good luck with the crumble.

    Yes, I've still got plenty left for the crumble. ;)

    It's a "feature flavour", so not always in stock. :(

    Wahey MBE! :T I must say it looks surprising delicious although I wouldn't have been brave enough to try it!
    bolster chisel needed me thinks
    - do the cleaning up this way and save the "toffee" for the trick and treaters this weekend, tell them it's *proper* bonfire toffee! ;)

    Wow - That looks awful.... but then lots of things that taste nice often do!!!
    I'll skip the STC crumble challenge and await a more restrained recipe to try!!!BTW if your'e looking for more inspiration my best friend at school used to eat cheese and jam sandwiches with salt and vinegar crisps!!!!
    Well done on your efforts:T
    :rotfl: :rotfl:
    Quite keen moneysaver......
