Seriously, I've never made anything that tasted this good. It was divine (and I can thank food goddess, minx and ruler of food porn miss Nigella Lawson for the recipe). Oh, and braving a copyright infringement lawsuit, you can cook it too.
125 gram soft unsalted butter
300 gram dark chocolate (at least 70%) broken up into smallish pieces
3 tablespoons of the light coloured syrup
200 gram Digestive biscuits
100 gram mini marshmellows (I could only find large ones, so I cut mine into smaller pieces
2 tablespoons of icing sugar
1 fan to keep cool during the ordeal
1. melt butter, chocolate and syrup in a pot
2. save 1 1/4 deciliter of the mixture for later
3. put biscuits in a bag and bash them with a rolling pin - leave some small and other larger chunks of biscuit
4. mix biscuits and marshmellows into the chocolate mixture
5. pour the mixture into an appropriate container and smooth it with a hot knife or other cooking tool.
6. cool it for at least 2 hours, or preferably over night in the fridge
7. cut the "cake" into small pieces - the recipe says 24 but I doubt I got that many out of it.
8. dust cake with icing sugar. (I forgot that)
Even my mother who is *so* not a marshmellow person loved them.
That said, I had pasta tonight, and the only novelty pasta I've seen has been penis shaped ones. Never bought that, but I found this the other day
Looney Toons pasta! YAY!
It was actually not bad. I never really liked Bugs Bunny, so I took great pleasure in biting off his head.
Wow, that does look awesome.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the time or inclination I'd make that too!
It takes literally minutes to do it. They have so many calories that you may have to do two yoga classes in one day to burn them off
ReplyDeleteDid someone mention cake?
ReplyDeleteGo back on holiday MJ, we don't want your venomous farts here.
ReplyDeleteThis is a classy place
That does look like a delicious dessert!
ReplyDeleteWell done!
As for the pasta, that looks like fun! I confess though that I'm not really a pasta eater. I'm not much of a rice eater either. I just find pasta bland. Most pasta dishes are bland to me. I'd rather just have the meatballs or shrimp by itself than eat it with the pasta.
But those Looney Tunes character shapes makes the pasta look fun. Wait, I do enjoy pasta when it's part of Macaroni and Cheese!
There's that cheese again hahaha.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy a nice fresh made pasta with lemon capers sauce and salmon. That's just yummy. If you haven't tried it and there's a California Pizza Kitchen near you, that's worth checking out. I've had that many times.
Nigella can always be relied upon for a good pudding :)
ReplyDeleteHi, welcome!
ReplyDeleteI know, I love Nigella
I like Jamie and Gordon too - for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteMy big beef with all the major chefs is their fondness for sugar, butter and cream. Hanging out with a vegan makes it very interesting but you can normally adapt most things :)
I wouldn't know how to start cooking for a vegan. It's a bit like those people with food allergies like they can't do dairy or flour and such.
ReplyDeleteBack in the 80s there was that health freak Susan Powell or something. My mother has ALL her books. She was very much no this and no that. Wouldn't be surprised if she outlawed sugar, cream and butter.
The c*ke looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteDoes IDV know you are doing all this fancy cooking?
Oh Hai MJ!
ReplyDeleteOh Hai XL!
ReplyDeleteDid someone mention CAKE?
I don't know XL, it doesn't look like he's been by.
ReplyDeleteOh hai MJ
Hey there....
ReplyDeleteJust checking in. Do you happen to know the location of The Freaking Green Elf Shorts?
I have had a bit on my plate recently and let the location lag....
Just not sure where they ended up!
Thanks
Andrea
Original owner! :-)
Hey Andrea
ReplyDeleteI'm honoured by your visit. The mother of the Freakin' Green Elf Shorts!
I'm also a little, nay a lot, embarrassed that you had to because I've been a rubbish little elf. The Shorts are still in my possession.
On the plus side they are "safe", my safety is a whole other matter but they are still here.
