A Carefree Christmas

Having been slightly under the weather lately, I'm hoping to bounce right back now..and what better way than to remind yourself that you can have a carefree Christmas!
I love some of these old sweet recipes and often adapt them,which simply means double the recipe and making them bigger than the bite sizes suggested!! ;-)
8oz creamy toffees
4oz Rice Crispies
2 tablespoons water
2 oz milk chocolate
Cake cases..(or mini ones)
1. Place toffees in pan with water. Heat gently, stirring until toffee has melted.Remove from heat.
2. Add Rice Crispies and stir.
3. Spoon into cake cases
4. Melt the chocolate and then pipe or swizzle on to the Crispies. Leave to set.

Or you can make them small and bag them up as gifts...lovely!

Hope your Christmas food preparations are going just tickety boo!!

    My Mum used to make all sorts of yummy goodies from Family Circle when we were little, has it got Crisp and Hearty in it?? A healthy mix of chocolate, syrup, rice crispies and glace cherries!

  15. I am practising what little willpower I have left and resisting most sweet things until tomorrow when I will indulge myself and probably feel horribly sick by the end of the day.. but then I've always got Nurse Flo to look after me!
    Hope your appetite is back Sal and you feel bright eyed and bushy tailed in time for tomorrow..
    A very Happy Christmas my dear friend..
