Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Me too . I used Crunchies which were lovely in the batch I made for YS going away. This time I crushed them too much and it didn't taste as good . Big bits makes for a much yummier crunch . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I used the last of my macadamia nuts, walnuts and dried cranberries. I had a load of gold coins left from Christmas so chucked them into the melted chocolate too, good way to get rid of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 YS made this at the weekend but didn't follow the instructions properly and managed to use 3 saucepans. He put marshmallows in and it was delicious - well the tiny bit I was allowed to eat! He's very keen to make another lot adding some different ingredients in.

Falkor Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Well I have just checked the cupboards (i am meant to be ironing!) and I have all ingredients except the digestives! Off to the little corner shop and I will be making a batch or two! I have a toblerone that i might pop in too! I will report back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I'm just about to make yet another dble batch so thought I'd add up the cost... 200g milk chocolate from Aldi 99p (I don't use dble the chocolate, I find 200g is plenty) 400g digestive biscuits from Aldi 32p 200g butter from Aldi approx 70p (a 250g block is 84p) 4 tbsp golden syrup, dunno the cost but not much, say 20p 2 tsp cocoa, again negligable (I only use a small amount of cocoa powder) half a packet of Aldi macadamia nuts and dried cranberries 65p (a packet costs £1.29) so lets see, total is about £2.86-ish? for about 10/12 slices? (we like them thick) so 29p a slice? We paid £1 a slice from the farm shop when we went on egluntine's chicken course and they didn't have nuts in! They are just soooooooooooooooo nice, I can't leave them alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 got 12 slices, just cut it up, so that's 22p a slice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 As I reported earlier in this thread, I made 2 different batches of this for my YS to take away on his 2 week school expedition. It was (unofficially) voted the best home baking . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 If you listen very carefully, you can hear my arteries hardening ............ thanks Em, you made me make it Oooh I wondered what that noise was! Glad I made you make it! I feel that I have performed a public service! Everyone should make this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 got 12 slices, just cut it up, so that's 22p a slice How big are the slices? I got 16 from a single batch. Maybe I am not making it thick enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I am not making it thick enough I'd say they're about 3 cm wide, about 7 cm long and maybe 1.5 cm think? does these pics help? http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2597614&l=10e3ee5dac&id=568396756 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2597615&l=1e475b6684&id=568396756 maybe I'm compressing the biscuit mixture too much, might try a little less pressure next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Yup, Poet.....mine are thinner than yours. That is why I am getting more slices. Ta! I am on my second batch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Mine is due out of the fridge at 5pm! I can't wait - so droolworthy! I put 300 grams of galaxy chocolate on top of mine! Any more good recipes? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Oh wow this is so sickly! Very nice though. I do think I overdid the syrup or something as the base is very gooey. Will it set better by tomorrow? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma.x is the chocolate set on the top? If so and the bottom isn't then yes, you've probably over done it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma.x I think mine improved overnight in the fridge but i would say if it is REALLY sickly then maybe you overdid the syrup....or maybe i have a really sweet tooth as i am on my third slice this evening!
