To think this dessert was a bjt

We went to OH’s friend’s house last night for a meal. They went into the kitchen and brought out dessert. They had bitten the heads off hollow chocolate rabbits, filled them with Baileys, put squirty cream on top and were pretty pleased with themselves, let me tell you. I looked around for something else and they said that I’d reminded them that they’d forgotten something. I hoped it was a cheesecake but no, they came back with indoor sparklers which took a faff to light, then the cream melted and the sparklers melted the chocolate and I had a plate of mess.

OH and I are still confused about this. AIBU to think cheesecake would have been easier?

@WonderfulYou

Jealousy is not a good look.
You jealous that you didn't get to eat another humas spit of a shitty chocolate bunny during a pandemic is actually hilarious Grin

If I served a weird dessert for a bit of fun and someone who I had invited into my home and given a meal to asked if I had forgotten something I would be tempted to say "No, but you seem to have forgotten your manners".

She was trying to do something nice and special, it didn't quite come together but it's fairly mean and judgemental to criticise her for that, maybe she got bored of cheesecake. I'd have a laugh about it with her not try and get strangers online to mock her.

@IHateWasps

Also how would the sparklers melt the chocolate like that? Sparklers aren’t hot enough to do that.

They can burn at 1000°C +. That isn't hot enough?

The top burns at that temperature, the bottom doesn't given they are designed to be held.

YANBU because it's not a dessert; it's a drink served in a hollow chocolate bunny.

Seemssounfair · 23/01/2022 11:21

In theory, good choc, baileys, cream and chocolate sauce all sound good and should go together well. Like a luxourous chocolate liquor, and probably look great too.

But, how the fuck do you actually eat them?

JugglingJanuary · 23/01/2022 11:23

I don't make them for/instead of dessert though

A dinner party in a supposed pandemic is hilarious.

AlexForrestBunny · 23/01/2022 11:25

Maybe they were bored of the same old cheesecake? I bloody hate cheesecake so anything else is a winner

@MollyQueenOfSocks

I love everyone here getting upset and offended OP didn't like the deserts. They literally put their dirty mouth on the desert, took a bite and then served it up in a complete fucking mess.

You would think we aren't living in a pandemic - even so I don't want my friends spit all over my fucking desert, no matter how close we are!

Well firstly, it would be interesting to clarify that they did actually bite the heads off, because it's much more likely they snapped them off. If they did actually bite them then yes that's gross.

But nobody is upset or offended that OP didn't like the desserts, people think it was rude that her response was to look around for something more/better. It's just really rude, if you don't like the dessert then don't have one, don't assume there MUST be something better. It reminds me of when kids open presents they aren't bothered about and just say "are there more?" Is this what happens when nobody stops them doing that and they grow up?

I think it sounds fabulous and I shall be serving Baileys Easter bunnies to my family as dessert. Chocolate and alcohol, what’s not to like? I’d supply straws for drinking the contents and you can eat your chocolate bunny with your hands.

So you all got a decapitated chocolate woodland creature filled with goo then melted by sparklers. Brilliant!

I need to Google this.

TansySorrel · 23/01/2022 11:32

What did they do with the head?

WhatAHexIGotInto · 23/01/2022 11:33

I hight doubt they 'bit' the heads off.

PriamFarrl · 23/01/2022 11:33

I still don’t know what BJT is.

notangelinajolie · 23/01/2022 11:34

Gross and childish at the same time.
YABU for wanting cheesecake as an alternative though. I'd have reached for the Baileys Grin

100problems · 23/01/2022 11:35

@TansySorrel that was my next question!

We're the heads all lined up, glistening saliva on the kitchen counter?

And FFS don't forget the PANDEMIC! It's always a relief to see a post reminding us.

StrangerThanSpring · 23/01/2022 11:38

I'm going to have to google this!!

@StrangerThanSpring happy to help here.

One offs the creatures head, fills its body cavity with Bailey's, do a "ta da" with some swirly cream and fling on some sprinkles.

Consume inner via straw, eat corpse. No sparklers.

BJT gives me Bipolar Junction Transistor, which I'm confident is wrong in this context.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 23/01/2022 11:44

The biting is the thing that would make me feel 🤢

That and I don’t like squirty cream so would want it without. I’d rather just be bought the bunny and the Baileys separately as a pp said!

FatLabrador · 23/01/2022 11:48

I must say I would like this provided they didn't bite the head off and it didn't melt, but would have preferred a cheesecake.

Hmmmwhatnametochoose · 23/01/2022 11:48

@DogDramas

I’ve seen the advert as well.

I was polite and said it was fun.

They don’t do MN.

Are you absolutely sure, OK? Because I would never, ever admit I was a Mumsnetter to any of my friends...
Flocon · 23/01/2022 11:48

Biting the heads off is a bit odd they could have done this hygienically. But if I were your friends reading this I'd have a good idea it was you moaning and I probably won't invite you again

Hmmmwhatnametochoose · 23/01/2022 11:48

OP, not Ok. Sorry.
