Fill sweet cases with a teaspoonful of melted chocolate and poke a marshmallow on top.

I always make this very easy to do and always sells out.

Anything with lots of butter & maple or golden syrup to replace granulated sugar.
Am thinking christmassy ginger pound cake?

wrap it tightly in foil when still a bit warm, then pack in a plastic bag with a tight knot and store in fridge.

Mine keeps well for 3/4 days.

Dust with icing sugar at the last minute.

Chocolate brownies keep well and, in fact, are better left for a while.

Also Nigella's Dense chocolate loaf cake keeps really well.

225g soft butter
375g dark muscovado sugar
2 large eggs
vanilla extract
100g dark chocolate
200g plain flour
1 tsp bicarb
250 ml boiling water

Oven Gas mark 5, 190C

Cream the butter and sugar, then add the eggs and some vanilla essence. Melt the chocolate, and fold it into the mixture. Mix the bicarb with the flour, then add it to your mix, spoon by spoon, alternating with the boiling water. The result should be a smooth batter. Pour it into three 1-lb loaf tins, and bake for 30 minutes at 190C. The cake should be squidgy in the middle, so you can?t test it with a skewer.

As it cools it will sink in the middle, sometimes to the point of total collapse. It improves with keeping.

I change the recipe slightly and make it with 300g sugar and do half dark and half light muscovado.

Yes, well, I work in Stirling and live just e few miles north.

Are you as far north as Perth or a bit closer?

shootfromthehip · 25/11/2009 09:45

Sorry Stirling, just saw this. We are not as far as Perth, in between the two in the arse-crack-of-nowhere! How funny if we are not too far away from each other. Having said that I love the idea that there is at least one other MNetter in my general area. Shall we try and find other like minded North of Stirlingers and have a meetup?
