I cut and paste this a few weeks ago Peanut chocolate clusters Hope this is the one you want. 1/2 cup peanut butter 1 pkt while chocolate melts {375gr] 1&1/2 cups salted peanuts 1pkt plain Hi Mark crispy noodles Melt peanut butter with chocolate. add to bowl of noodles {broken up } & the salted peanuts. Mix well together put "blobs" onto greaseproof paper to set. I use "Pams" white melts bit more than you need in the pack, but they are the cheapest, I have made these with both white melts & normal choc melts , when I did not have 375 grams of white just used mostly white with balance of choc. banana_queen (1)1:36 pm, 11 JulThought it sounded good for christmas ______________________________- __________

Have read all sorts of facny biscotti recipes, but haven't been able to find a plain one. Would you recommend them - do you have a nice recipe?

I do have some good ones they are not dead plain though, but not fancy either. Biscotti is actually very easy to make.

mallowpuffs as xmas puds... dark chocolate coated mallowpuffs, drizzle white chocolate over so that it runs down the sides, then top with two spearmint leave on either side. They look FANTASTIC and everyone raves over them.

You can keep, well wrapped and stored in an airtight container for two months or in the refrigerator. If you are going to freeze, do it without the icing as the freezing process will make for a tacky icing when it thaws. Just make sure they are well wrapped and then wrapped in tinfoil.

Kahlua/Chocolate Trifle I made this up a few years ago when my kids decided they didn't like the traditional trifle. Break pieces of choc trifle sponge into bottom of bowl, drizzle with Kahlua and a little berry juice. Add lots of berries, I use boysenberries, blackberries & raspberries, sprinkle a little more Kahlua over the berries. Cover with chocolate mousse or choc custard (I've tried both). Top with whipped cream if you like and decorate with shaved choc and/or extra berries.

sounds like my concoction mine is a black forrest trifle and I use the filled swiss roll (chocolate) and layer a glass bpwl with slices then drizzle over a little brandy - or just the juice of the fruit if children are eating it. I use the jars of chrries or frozen boysenberries. Top with choc viguer or choc custard (you used to be able to buy it) or the Tararua Mousse. spread with whipped cream and grated chocolate - yummy.

Fruit mince Two years ago I made the most wonderful fruit mince. It started with two bananas cooked in a fry pan with other fruits, and brandy to follow. The point is I have LOST the instructions. Anyone have them. Very little was made into tarts, couldn't keep people with spoons out of the container
