    Hubby brought 30 choc bars for cooking going to try making xmas crispie cakes and jaimies truffles like last year.

    Spooky!! That's exactly the amount of bars I bought. I was going to buy the full box, but didn't realise there were 60 bars per box. Plenty of stock, they seemed to have added a lot more than normal. Settled on a fivers worth and bought a bag of King Edwards...........just to make sure I have a balanced diet. :D

    Instead of crispie cakes, I make muesli cakes with the Lidl special muesli - it makes a very nice change.
    Do you have a link for the truffles??
    Or do you just adapt THIS with cheap chocolate??

    It was the cheap mince at my local @ £1.09, going quick though, even at around 8.30am.

    It was the steak mince at my local store in Glenrothes but it had not been adjusted on the till computer to go through at half price so my till receipt show 2 packets of tic-tacs :D
