Interesting fact there, Sam- on Scout camps we foiled 'em up with banana over the camp fire, chocolate bananas, bliss!*


*if pretty sickly, as your stomach can't take it after a week of bad food.

The cocoa never melts, only the fats and sugar that surrounds it. Flakes have more cocoa per gram -apparently- and so are harder to melt down.

My gran used to melt chocolate down in a pan and make cornflake buns. That takes me back! Fuck it, I might make some for Christmas!

Crispy cake is always a winner in my book!

You can buy chocolate cornflake buns in Farmfoods - I tried some the other month, they weren't too bad.

Greggs do them too, to blissful quality.

[Trumpton]

Ah Greggs. Very good food - bit on the expensive side though. !hmmm!

Why are their cooked sausage rolls as hot as the surface of the sun when you try to eat them?

[fudgeflaps]

Yeah, pasties too. Should be kept at a nice consumable temperature, I've actually scalded my palate on one.

[Trumpton]

The worst Greggs for doing this is the one at Clydebank. I bought a couple of sausage rolls there and when the lady put them in the bag I couldn't even hold it as it was just too hot - I had to put my glove on to carry the bag out of the shop.

Why is a Flake coated in chocolate called a 'Ripple'? There's nothing rippling about it. !confused!

[fudgeflaps]

Texture, fella, silky smooth. I love a Galaxy ripple, mmmmm, magic!

See these Mars Planets and equally minging offshoots of a franchise....... why, mummy, why? They frighten and taste like poo. Kinder bueno, eeeeeeech, pure ceeeeech!

I'm more of a cake/pastry guy now for a wee indulgence- can't go wrong with a vanilla-custard slice. Old-style 'quarters' of old-skool sweets are great too.
