    My BIL (who is Dutch) loves a Hagel-Bagel for weekend breakfast - choc vermacilli on a bagel! Not my kinda thing...:tongue:
    Save the earth, it's the only planet with chocolate! :)

    I still don't know what sort of chocolate I should be buying for the rum truffles. Any recommendations? :confused:
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    I would go for a good rich dark chocolate with a high % cocoa solids but I guess it depends on what you prefer!

    Cooking chocolate or normal chocolate? Or doesn't it matter? :confused:

    Personally I'd use "normal" chocolate - I think Lindt or Green and Blacks do 70% chocolate (and they're available from most supermarkets;) , I've read your cooking threads before) as if there's any left over its fair game and you can eat it yourself :rotfl: :rotfl: :T

    I doubt it matters that much but I would prefer good stuff like green and blacks dark chocolate like Skintlass suggests :)

    It sounds gorgeous but I've made fudge already and I can't afford to have any more sweet stuff in the house, or I'll have to go on 'You are what you Eat' in the New Year :(..............:rotfl:

    If you've got LIdl near use their dark choc. It's 70% and much cheaper than Lindt or Green and Blacks. V good too. Check out their chocolate almonds too, yum.

    I know what you mean - maybe we can have a "you are what you eat" stylee thread in the New Year with only healthy recipes in it :p

    Well, I went to Boots, and after much searching, found the rosewater in the PERFUME section! :confused:

    I asked the assistant to confirm that it was edible. She looked at me like I was from planet stupid in the idiot nebula. :rotfl:

    She told me it wasn't, so I bought it anyway. :rolleyes: I couldn't see anything in the contents that indicated it was toxic. :D

    However, I would be most grateful if someone could confirm that I'm not about to kill anyone and it's genuinely the right stuff. It was £3.99 for 400ml, and I only need a tiny bit. :mad:

    Secondly, what is corn starch? Morrisons don't appear to sell it. I think I managed to get everything else. :think:
