That's a very nice thought Mel. *sighs... wish I could cook (: but thank you for the lovely caramel slice and cream. Delicious:-)

No sorry, I don't really like cherries. Shall we stick with the Caramel slice and cream then. My question is should I have another piece ? I like to make differernt things and try them first lol. My neighbours do little things that are nice for us during the year and we do things for them as well but I like to make a lovely plate of different things for them for chrissie pressies. Its personal and comes from the heart and not the pocket. Mel

ummmstrawberries give me hives, Mel, do you happen to have any organic cherries?

I am sure that will be whipped so it sits nicely on top. I will just get it. What about a little stawberry on top of that as well. Mel

*pushes everyone out of the way....me first, Mel!!! smells sooooo gooood....Coffee with cream please:-) mmmmmmm

My caramel slice is ready and I am just about to put the jug on, so please come over. Who's for coffee and who's for tea then? And will that be with sugar and milk ? I am sure the kids will want some in thier lunch boxes tomorrow, not very Jamie Oliver I know lol Mel

Hi Mel, just seen this, here goes one of my favourites.............. Wicked Chocolate slices. 225g/8oz Butter 3tbsp golden syrup 300g packet digestive biscuits roughly crushed 400g/14oz plain chocolate in pieces. Grease your tray, Put the butter, golden syrup and cocoa powder in a bowl and melt in a microwave on high 20 secs in a 900w model Add the crushed biscuits and mix thoroughly, crushing any large pieces as you do. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin, allow to cool then cover ans chill for 30 mins. Put the chocolate in a bowl and either melt in the microwave 1min 40secs, or heat over a simmering pan of water, Stir once until smooth, allow to cool slightly. puor the melted chocolate onto the chilled slice. Smooth over and place in fridge till set. Hope you enjoy this. Wendy.xxxxx
