just be careful if you don't want big APGs

Keeping mine very small - biggest I've had was £10.15 which was a mistake 'cos a shampoo went through at the wrong price. Was very glad when "spent" that one. Couldn't cope with big ones no matter what the bargain!
Was sitting in my car in between shops today sorting out my APG's and mocs and two managers came out of the store and headed straight for my car....and went past. That was enough for me!

So can we all share your mars bar crunch recipe then please?:)
Sounds delicious! You did say it was calorie free??

4 oz marg
7 oz rice crispies
2 table spoon golden syrup
3 normal size mars bars.
bar of chocolate (cooking or 1p lol)

chop up the mars bars into 1cm ish bits add them and marg and syrup to pan then heat gently and melt together. add that to the weighed out rice crispies in a mixing bowl and stir til all coated. put in a slightly greased brownie or sponge tin (abt 9 inch tin is perfect) and compact it down (we do it abt 1 nch or so thick) then put in fridge to cool, once cool melt the bar of choc and pour over the top to completely cover then allow to set. then you just chop up into pieces and devour. if your feeling fancy you can also add in choc chips/smarties/tiny mallows etc but its really good just plain. also have found dark choc is nicest for the top.

unfortunately the only calorie free part of the receipe is the washing up afterwards
