Making dessert with store cupboard ingredients

Toonie

Hi folks,

I'm looking for inspiration for a sweet/dessert/pudding to bring to friends for a Christmas get together. Due to losing my job I'm trying to make the most of my store cupboard and wondered if you creative lot had any suggestions with my store cupboard list. The pud is to serve four sweet toothed ladies and doesn't need to be a traditional dessert, just something sweet for afters. The only baking thing I'm not great at is making pastry.

Baking supplies

Granulated sugar

Icing sugar

Golden syrup

Honey

Plain flour

Self raising flour

Various dried fruits

Mini marshmallows

Hundreds and thousands

Condensed milk

Evaporated milk

Butter

Lard

Oil

Edit to add...will have eggs soon (this is for next week so going to get eggs tomorrow).

Golden syrup sponge with evaporated milk - basically a sponge on top of golden syrup, like the ones they used to sell in tins.

Biscuits would be easy, google for a recipe...

You could make a kind of mincemeat with yuor dried fruits soaked in tea or alcohol if you had some and wanted to, making some little open tarts and a dollop of condensed milk on top or put them in a sweet bread with an icing top. Iced buns.. Muffins with dried fruits and icing top, or if you have fresh fruit, a sponge cake with apples chopped up in it and a drizzle of icing or golden syrup, a spotted !!!!!! and golden syrup....

I would make scones (with or without the fruit) or maybe some lemon drizzle or banana cake if you have left over fruit

Do you have eggs?

Any porridge oats, cocoa or vinegar?

Toonie

Currently no eggs, but they are something I'm buying tomorrow and it's not until next week I'm meeting with my friends.

Do you have any digestive biscuits or could get some?  Rocky road is lovely and very sweet.  Add some extra dried fruits instead of chocolate.

Toonie

I have some cocoa and a bar of chocolate I found lurking in the wrong kitchen cupboard. I could get hold of oats and digestives, going to Aldis tomorrow and both might come in useful for the next month.

@Toonie - may I ask about the kit you've got before making any suggestions as knowing whether you've got a particular size of pudding bowl or baking tin would mean that I wasn't suggesting something you'd have to improvise to be able to prepare easily.

I would suggest millionaires shortbread.  You did say you had found some chocolate 

Fudge.

Honeycomb 
 You could do a little sweet selection.

@goldfinches I have lot of bakeware. Pudding bowls of various sizes, cake tins in varying shapes and sizes, individual sizes of lots of stuff, piping bags, cutters of all sorts, a sugar thermometer etc. I enjoy baking so have quite a few things (the only things I don't have are a food processor or a stand mixer-though I do have an electric whisk).
