Keren, I think it's time for you to dump that IA bird and marry me instead!

I am sooooooo hungry now, reading about all the gorgeous things you are going to make. :drool:

Me & Smashed have just been round Country Baskets in Leeds, LOADS of gorgeous stuff!
The funeral aisle is a bit disconcerting though.

Hey Ell I did. It'll go on the list

At the moment we have Minnie Orlandia Bean... can't see what's wrong with that can you? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I feel blooming awful though being serious for a min. I called my brother just a few minutes ago, left a message saying, call me I have a bit of news. His wife called back and I told her (she's such a sweetheart). Anyway, I asked how she was, she found out she was pregnant 2 weeks ago with their first, they've been trying for 2 years and starting fertility treatments. Anyway, she said she miscarried yesterday How flippin horrible did i feel? I wait weeks to tell them and manage to do it at the worst possible moment. Oh well, fingers crossed for them, they so deserve their own little bean.

aaahhhhh toto xxx hugs for your bad moment today.

In from work now just waiting for DD to come home so I can sling her in the bath and then send her out again!

she's off to the fair tonight and I can't stand the place so my dad is taking her which is good cos i'm feeling like carp again.

Been and looked at this AOL offer and it looks quite good in the shop, the one with the free laptop. Anyone any opinions?

very!
I found the recipe a few years ago in the local paper one day and i've kept the scappy bit ofpaper in the bread binever since -it comes out every now and again for an 'airing'

8oz butter (unsalted)
100g plain chocolate in pieces (or milk if you prefer)
2 tbsp golden syrup
2 tbsp cocoa powder (I use hot chocolate)
2 tbsp sugar
4 oz Maltesers (or, amount to personal taste )
4oz white and milk chocolate chips
4oz mini marshmallows
8oz ginger biscuits - crushed (I've used bourbons before - lush)

Line a baking tin with greaseproof paper

In a pan, heat the butter, plain chocolate, syrup and cocoa powder.
Once melted, leave to cool for 10 minutes

Put the Maltesers, biscuits, chocolate drops and marshmallows in a separate bowl. Stir together and add the melted chocolate sauce

Pour into lined tray
Chuck in the fridge until set - mark into squares whilst it is semi-hard to make it easier to chunk up.


You can swap things around - I've used Smarties before, you could use chopped up twix instead of Maltesers, anything you fancy really. You can change the biscuit to whatever you like as well - digestives work just as well.


They are lovely........VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY fattening though! :rotfl:
