Thanks for the rice idea Piglet - I agree about using syns for things you don't have to! However the part of your post that really caught my eye was



WHAT?! Why have I not heard about these?!

I think the recipe is on the first page, using scan bran, not am not a lover of ferrero rocher anyway or many chocolatey-sweety things

what....NEVER!!! you havent lived

you need 6 multi grain ryvitas (thats the green pack, MUST b this type)

3 tablespoons of nutella (or any other chocolate spreat)

crush the ryvitas in a bowl (a potato masher does this job very well)

warm the nutella in the microwave

mix together, and then split into the wee small bun cases,

and now for the hard part....leave them in the fridge to harden!!!:p

1 syn each,:D:j

they are yum!!!! like really nice rice krispie buns and IMO....FAR nicer than the real ferrero rocher!

what i usually do, is melt an extra wee bit of nutella, and take some whole strawberries and drag them thru the melted nutella, then sit on a sheet of greeseproof paper and leave in the fridge to harden, i count these as 1 syn each also,

you can double up on the ryvitas and nutella if you have a lot of people to cook for...or if you love them!!! you can also make them with scan bran but i dont think they are as nice,


i dont even like the real ferrero rocher, and i love these!!

i have made some nice cakes with the scan bran, but the ryvitas are defo.nicer for the ferrero rocher

I shall try them at the weekend, wonder if I can fool the kids :rotfl:.

I just had the Bannoffee Activia Snackpot for 1 syn....wont waste a syn on it again, will stick with my chopped up banana in Aldi Toffee Yoghurt as its free & IMO much nicer!

Mum just told me of a lovely recipe she heard today.

You get a packet of savoury rice and cook it off, add some chopped bacon pieces or ham, mushrooms, onions and any other veg you want. Put it all in a loaf tin. Beat 4 eggs and pour it over the mixture. Put in oven until eggs set and you have a lovely rice loaf which slices down. Perfect to have in the fridge to have as a quick snack.

:j:j 1.5 lbs off this week :j:j

Although I know myself it wasn't a great week for me, so need to be super good next week to avoid a gain.

Well done Caroline, nowt wrong with 1.5lb loss!
I finally hit target, in fact half a pound under. I also got my Club 10 award.
I am of course pleased but I also feel curiously flat ( no pun intended)
It's like other people are still n their exciting journey and Im out of the race.
I know, I'm strange.
