There has been a huge disaster in our home!!! Yesterday we treated ourselves to a bar of chocolate from the
pound shop thinking it would be a treat. But when we got home we found out it was actual a bar of that horrible chocolate candy stuff that has no right to class itself as chocolate. You know that horrible brown stuff they put in advent calenders? One huge bar of it was now living in my kitchen!
However all is not lost! For after a little research and a some clever thinking I have skillfully created a
nummy treat from this disaster. Enter a recipe for Chocolate
Triffin. Even better is a non cook recipe perfect to entertain the kiddies on a horrible wet day.
Ingredients;
1 bar of chocolate
Several broken up biscuits
Handful of marshmallows
Handful of dried fruit/
raisins4 tea spoons of cocoa powder
4oz of
Margarine/Butter/Spread
2 Desert spoons of Honey/Golden syrup
2 Desert spoons of Sugar
Method;
Melt the sugar, cocoa, butter and honey together using a few short blasts in the microwave. Once your mixture is smooth and
delicious smelling, resist dipping in your fingers and instead add the broken biscuits, marshmallows,
raisins and anything else you have to hand into the mix. (I
recommend chopped glace
cherrys and coconut)
Once everything is nicely covered pop the mixture into a buttered dish and push down firmly to fill as many of those tiny gaps as you can. Leave to one side far away from
inquisitive toddlers.
Melt the chocolate using the microwave again and stir
until smooth and tempting to drink.
Pour the chocolate over the first mix and spread evenly. Leave to cool a little and then pop into the fridge to finish hardening.
Once is nicely set, hack it into pieces and eat as fast as humanly possibly.
Crisis averted

That isn't a photo of my nails above. All my photos came out a blurry mess, so I had a quick google and found this one. My nails do look almost exactly like that though. They were supposed to be Nail art Pikachu's, but the yellow nail varnish I picked up today is pants!
