Oh..I never knew that.

People around here tend to stock up on 'Malteser bunnies'/caramel eggs, seeing as they're an Easter speciality. They say that they're amazingly gorgeous..But the price just doesn't justify it to me. :woohoo: Malteser bunnies are teeny and they cost around 50p each..Which I think is pretty steep. It just appears to be an extra-large 'Malteser' in a bunny shape.

^.^ My auntie surprised us all today..We received a massive box through the post..And it was stuffed with cranberry thins. The type you can only get in/around Canada, so non-existant over here in England.

Hehe..It's really brightened my day. I love them to pieces..

My auntie also sent over a packet of absolutely massive icing nozzles. Never seen some that large in my life. Last time I experimented with a mini-icing bag + nozzle, it was a lot of trial and error to get the icing the right consistency and not just dribble out of the bag..

Does anyone happen to know a good ratio of stuff for icing or buttercream to get the right consistency for an icing bag? I don't really want to go through the trial and error process all over again. It was veeery messy last time. :woohoo:

I bought a large white chocolate bunny the other day. I've never heard of the brand before (it's called Bortz), but it was only $2 so I couldn't pass that up. I find that sometimes cheap chocolate, especially white, can be grainy, but this one is really good. Think I'll have to nab one or two more, and see if I can hide them from myself for a bit...

Hey everyone. long time no post *giggles* got a question for all the candy loving peeps on here *giggles* peeps. sorry had to giggle at that. ok my question is. dose anyone know something easy to make for your loved one. thank you for any and all help. i need something easy and fast to make since i'm no good at making anything

Chocolate Truffles

4 cups chocolate chips
1 can Eagla Brand sweetened condensed milk
1 tbsp vanilla

Melt chips with Eagle Brand. This can be done in the microwave a minute or two at a time or on the stove top if stirred constantly. Stir in vanilla. Chill 2 hours or until firm. Shape into balls. Roll in icing sugar, sprinkles, nuts or whatever. Chill 1 hour. Store covered in fridge.



It requires very few ingredients and is dead simple to make. And they are oh so chocolatey! :laugh:
