I would be making very nice covering for a chocolate cake depending on how much. Think you need loads.

So if it was the one bar I would be making cookies with chopped up choc in.

Want recipes??

I would be eating eat slowly, one piece at a time, whilst simultaneously drinking a very fine Chilean cab sav.

You must wait until the Dc are asleep...it's not as good otherwise.

I'd be wolfing it down, hardly noticing the taste, after having already consumed half a bottle of rose

Kathyis6incheshigh · 24/08/2007 19:51

suzywong's brownies, or Jamie Oliver uncooked chocolate tart.

Aefondkiss · 24/08/2007 19:52

recipes are appreciated, but just talking about it is good too

though I would like to make something with it... I am very good at eating chocolate but I probably wouldn't have bought cook's choc for eating raw iykwim?

I'd be saying "Who? Me? No, I never had a bar of G&B chocolate, you must be thinking of someone else..." while surreptitiously brushing away the crumbs.

Eating it.

Bibis · 24/08/2007 19:57

don't eat it raw, my first ever migraine was from eating that high cocoa content French cooking chocolate in the green packaging, it was awful, the migraine obv not the chocolate

charmkin · 24/08/2007 19:58

Aefondkiss · 24/08/2007 20:09

fio I am sorry it displeases you so much, promise not to hand you any of the choc cookies that I might cook with them... next time I buy "quality" cooks chocolate to hang around in my cupboard, what would suit your discerning taste?

still not any closer to figuring out what to do with the chocolate, I have made brownies once(they were for my friend's 30th birthday) think it was a nigella recipe, cost a fortune to buy all the ingredients, delicious....

so cookies?

chocolate cake

emmm rice crispe cakes?

or... oooh how hard would some kind of choclolate mousse type thing be?

OP posts:
UCM · 24/08/2007 20:44

Right, I am going to give you the recipe then;

Hang on I will be back.

Tutter · 24/08/2007 20:46

brownies are better with cherries in than with nuts in

imho of course

Aefondkiss · 24/08/2007 20:52

yes tutter mine/nigella ones did have cherries natural ones of course, none of those neon things

how much does it weigh

Aefondkiss · 24/08/2007 20:55

150g is that enough?

OP posts:
UCM · 24/08/2007 21:02

220g butter
160g brown sugar
110g caster sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla flavouring or extract
300g plain flour
1 tsp bicarb
1/2 tsp salt
250g plain choc cut into chunks
1 bottle of white wine.

Heat oven gas 5/190c/375f and pour a glass of wine. Deep breath and drink it.

beat butter & sugars until smooth. add eggs and vanilla til mixed. Drink some wine. sift flour,bicarb, salt and fold, do not beat it in, just sort of stir or lift or whatever but it doesn't need to be completely done IYKWIM. Same with choc chips. You can add with the flour if you want. Drink some more wine. drop rounded tablespoons in a sheet with baking paper or a non stick on, leave about 2 inches apart. Bake 10- 12 mins, whilst you drink the rest of the bottle. They will appear overdone but will harden when cooling. Trust me.

Now you have pissed mummy and loads of cookies for coffee morning or in my house until DH has seen them. There may be one left in the morning.
