BIG KIDS - THE RECIPIES

at the request of marta + jamieanne, here are the super-simple recipies from yesterdays post:

:: top hats ::

100g chocolate (i use a really nice belgian milk one but any type you like will work) - 20-30 marshmallows - 20-30 smarties or m + m's

• set out 20-30 petit-four cases
• melt the chocolate
• pour a little chocolate into the base of each petit-four case
• plop a marshmallow into each pool of chocolate
• dot a little bit of chocolate on top of the marshmallows
• pop a smartie/m + m on top
• place in the fridge to set

:: mars bar crispie cakes ::

these are pretty much a free for all + i just chuck in what i've got in the cupboard. on saturday the ingredients were something along the lines of -

5 mars bars (milky ways in the US) - 50g milk chocolate - a splash of milk - 125g rice crispies (rice pops?) - 50g white chocolate

• lightly grease a swiss roll tin
• melt the mars bars + milk chocolate
• add a splash of milk to loosen the mixture
• stir in the crispies
• press the mixture into your tin
• melt the white chocolate + drizzle it excitedly over the top
• pop in the fridge to set

:: C's smarties cookies ::

100g butter (softened) - 100g light muscavado sugar - 1 tbsp golden syrup - 150g self-raising flour - 100g smarties

• preheat the oven to 180c
• beat the butter + sugar together 'til light + fluffy
• mix in the syrup
• add half the flour + stir through
• add the smarties with the remaining flour
• bring dough together
• divide into 14 balls
• pop the balls on a baking sheet
