Any Parma violet recipe ideas?

We've got a huge jar of Parma violets as everyone hates them.

Any ideas of what they can be used for in a recipe?

Don't even know what Parma violet is as a flavour!

It's the worst flavour.

Throw them in the bin. Or use as urinal cakes.

Take them to a nearby care home? I think a lot of elderly people like them.

Send them to me. They're some of my favourite sweets.

Ooh they are delicious (I realise I am in the minority with my love for them!)! I've crushed them and used them as sprinkles on cakes before but not looked for any other use though.

Apparently you can make PV fudge

I love them too. That cake looks fab.
LOL @mymonkeymycircus's first cake photo!

Might end up as the solution as I've got packets

Flavoured gin? My faves too!

I'm sure I've heard of them in cakes or possibly in gin or vodka. I think those are your best bets.

If you don't like the flavour of the sweets, you won't like the flavour of any recipes made with the sweets.

Give them to someone who does like them.

I love them. But if you don't like the flavour you won't be able to put them in a recipe as the flavour will still be there.

The flavour is delicious, violet perfumed soap, btw.
