Today and Coming up

A variety of textiles happened today  - abstract design, coil pots, JQ's,
50 shades, strip piecing and lots of free maching. Good to see every one
and have a natter.

and a recipe as promised............

 

 

Sweet and Salty crunchy nut bars.

Thanks to Nigella for this simple but wicked sweet treat.

200g milk chocolate
100g dark chocolate
125g unsalted butter
1 tablespoon golden syrup

250g salted peanuts
4 x 40g Crunchie bars - crumbled

Melt the chocolate, butter and syrup.
Add the peanuts and crunchie bar.
Mix well.
Press into a lined 9" square tin.
Chill in the fridge.
Cut into 16 pieces.

Some slight alterations:
I added an extra 50g of peanuts and 2 extra 40g Crunchie bars.
Tip - I bought a six pack of Crunchies and bashed them with a 
rolling pin in the packet.

Enjoy.

Merry Christmas...........
