Yes I hadn't long got up and was making a cuppa when a text came through from a friend saying Happy Easter - until then I was still half asleep. I'm glad you've had a laugh this morning - hope it continues through the day (it must be the Tunnocks). So you've nearly done it twice - just be thankful it wasn't one continuous one! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Clarification is needed here - would he want the tea cake or the caramel water in Easter egg form?

I love their caramel wafers.... ๐Ÿ˜

in reply to Blueskysunshine

Yea cake definitely

I think he might have the right idea.....we canโ€™t do sweet fanny adams about lots of awful things right now, so having a moment of escapism sounds a good thing to do! Better than fretting yourself into a flare.

Mind you Iโ€™m not sure I have any idea what a Tunnocks teacake is? If theyโ€™re horrible Iโ€™ll change my mind as say heโ€™s nuts!

Imagine a small round biscuit a bit like a digestive and put a dollop of marshmallow on top. Cover it all with chocolate and there you have a Tunnock's tea cake

Chocolate popcorn? That's a new one on me.

Evaporated milk beaten to a foam then brown sugar folded in and put in a pastry case. Baked in the oven until set and served cold. I can feel my teeth rot even as we speak

And its a good question too ! Easter Eggs used to fill the boxes and be think chocolate now sadly a lot of packing and thin chocolate. I went to local chocolate artisan shop in West Malling and bought some home made chocolates for a real treat. xx

A few years ago they did half caramel and half mallow, not sure they do them anymore(not Tunnocks though ๐Ÿ˜) they were yummy, love your hubby's addiction to Tunnocks ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘

Neonkittie17 profile image
Neonkittie17

LOL perhaps he can write to Tunnocks and suggest this! ๐Ÿคช I used to fantasise as a child that they theyโ€™d make a giant Cadburyโ€™s creme egg like a standard Easter egg size and it would be full of gooey white and yellow fondant creme. Youโ€™d have to eat it with a dessert spoon. My tastes have changed (and so has Cadburyโ€™s choc ๐Ÿคจ!) and the thought of eating a huge creme egg makes me feel rather .... ๐Ÿคข x

in reply to Neonkittie17

Your so right since Cadburyโ€™s were bought out by Kraft chocolate looks plastic and seems overly sweet as well as shrinkage ๐Ÿคฌif it works leave it alone x

Neonkittie17 profile image
Neonkittie17 in reply to

He might get credited with the conception of a new Easter egg and be famous! Yes, Kraft made Cadburyโ€™s slimey and shiny. Their old dusky yummy less sugary chocolate was wonderful. Part of our childhood. ๐Ÿ’—

in reply to Neonkittie17

I fear gone forever ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Neonkittie17 profile image
Neonkittie17 in reply to

Yes .. that wonderful Cadburyness has to be a distant memory of our taste buds! Do you remember the slim bars of purple foiled Cadburyโ€™s and the Cadbury oval logo embossed on them? They were the childrenโ€™s smaller bars. About 6 ins in length and an inch width and slim in depth. Ahh I wish someone would reformulate it! ๐Ÿ’—

Kags1068 profile image
Kags1068 in reply to Neonkittie17

Ooh, I remember those little bars. Loved them. They seemed very grown-up and sophisticated to me as they had the fancy writing on them!๐Ÿ˜„

I completely agree that Cadbury's chocolate isn't the same any more, but it's still my favourite chocolate. Two of my all-time favourites are Fruit and Nut, and Whole Nut. To this day, every time I have either of those I have to sing either "Everyone's a fruit and nut case" (was that Frank Muir in the old advert, or was I hallucinating); or "Nuts whole hazelnuts. Cadbury's make them and they cover them in chocolate!" Those were the days of good jingles in adverts!! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
