am I right in thinking this is ONLY 1% fat Popsycal?

popsycal · 19/12/2004 19:43

only 0.5% jampot....especially if one is pregnant!

popsycal · 19/12/2004 19:44

it has apricots and raisins in so it must be healthy!

popsycal · 19/12/2004 19:45

grease the tin really really well though.......and put more ginger bickies in than digestives i reckon....

mmm yummy - might have to give this one a go as a school holidays activity. thanks.

roisin · 19/12/2004 19:54

Ooh, I might give this recipe to the boys to try out later in the week - thanks Popsy!

They are both love baking, but they haven't done any for ages.

I love the school holidays when we have time to just DO things, rather than always having to keep to a tight schedule

DoesntChristmasDragOn · 19/12/2004 19:57

Don't do it. Something in the recipe for "tiffin" creates a substance akin to crack cocaine. I know because I made a slab last week and it was gone in under 48 hours.

DoesntChristmasDragOn · 19/12/2004 19:58

I recommend lining the tin with greaseproof paper. Oh, and slightly out of date custard creams work well too.

popsycal · 19/12/2004 20:02

grease proof paper - excellent idea...
mihgt just have to make anohter batch to try that out

PickasillyChristmasName · 19/12/2004 20:10

That looks gorgeous.

May well try it on Tuesday (Christmas holidays for me start at 5:30 tomorrow, when the course I'm teaching will end )

popsycal · 19/12/2004 20:11

about a third of the tray has disappeared since i started this threa.d......

Mmmm... this looks delicious - it's been in the fridge for about 20 minutes, so we're being very self-controlled here

I hope it's worked OK: Just at a crucial point ds1 and I got embroiled in a heavy discussion about the physics/chemistry of fire; properties of oil; electrical fires; good/bad conductors ...?! I realise it's a very simple recipe, but our minds really weren't on the job!

DoesntChristmasDragOn · 21/12/2004 17:48

I don't think there's any scope for stuffing this one up really. unless you burnt the chocolate mix rather than melted it...

DoesntChristmasDragOn · 21/12/2004 17:49

I still have half a pack of custard creams andI@m feeling sh*te with a cold so I may make some "comfort tiffin" later.

FWIW, it's great straight from the saucepan too
