Whether you've kids home for half term or not, these are simple and quick to make and rather delicious. I'd particularly like to hear from anyone who manages not to eat at least two toffees and a marshmallow out of the saucepan before they start to melt :o)
Mary says hers make 48. Mine made 20 (now 18). Either Mary makes cakes for dolls or my family have an unnatural relationship with portion size. I'm plumping for the former.
Happy melting :o)

ps- I'm hoping the recipe will enlarge because I've been lazy and avoided typing it. If it doesn't, let me know and I'll edit the post to include it. I know some of the words are missing off the edge of the photo but they're self explanatory so hopefully it'll make sense.
Daughter is home and baking in the kitchen right now. Just as well as her (hungry) brother is coming home any minute. Husband picking asparagus, salad and rhubarb on way home as I fell off my bike (downhill, at speed) on Friday and am still very sore. Loved your butterfly post the other day and saw lots of blue butterflies on the chalk at the weekend. Come back sun, please.
ReplyDeleteOh Lord Sarah, I hope you're alright? Xx
DeleteDon't tempt me! I have sworn to keep off sugar and after three weeks I find I no longer have a sugar craving. But I must say they don't half look good!
ReplyDeleteI'm very impressed! X
DeleteToday started off grey but fine here, then from lunch time onwards it has bucketed down. The crispy cakes look just the thing for a rainy Tuesday - nom, nom,nom! I'll have to stock up on veggie marshmallows first. xx
ReplyDeleteIt's cold here today still ;-(. Veggie marshmallows sound good. I'll have to look out for them xx
DeleteDrooling here CT. AM GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO ALDI TO BUY SOME TOFFEES NOW!!
ReplyDeleteI thought you might :-) xx
DeleteHow wonderfully indulgent, shame I don'r have toffees in...that's okay thought as hubby has a week off and can run me t the shops!!
ReplyDeleteThe pic enlarges perfectly for me to read!
Sounds like a plan, Tanya :-) x
DeleteYUM. You are a top mum CT. I make cookies from a Martha Stewart recipe that says it should make 48, and I only ever get a maximum of 24. These people are weird small-cake eating freaks. Stop messing about a make a decent sized one! We have somehow managed to eat an entire coffee cake and a cherry cake three days flat. I can't keep up with the baking. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteIt's the elves, CJ, they eat everything :-) xx
DeleteI bet they went down extremely well. You'll probably have to make some more tomorrow! x
ReplyDeleteAmazingly there are some left. That won't be the case this evening when son #2 gets home! Xx
DeleteI used to make Rice Crispy Treats which is like this but no toffee. They are so good and I can only guess yours are even better with the added toffee.
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
The toffee is def a good addition xx
DeleteOne word....YUMALICIOUS!!!! X
ReplyDeleteI foresee lots of pounding the lanes to work them off! Xx
DeleteWhen I first glanced at the recipe title I saw 'Two-Tonne Marshmallow Chews'!! I fear that is how I would end up if I made these... We do need cheering up with this horrid weather, though... Xx
ReplyDeleteOh that's v funny :-). And probably if truth be told a more honest name for them! I am awaiting the arrival on son #2 this evening because I am relying on him to eat them so I don't xx
DeleteOh they looks divine. What is it with you and naughty puds xx
ReplyDeleteI know! About to go out for a run to off-set it! xx
DeleteThose look wonderful,I'm also not sure how Mary can split into 48! Sarah x
ReplyDeleteThey are addictive :-) x
