A Little Yummy for Your Tummy

I know I've previously documented how the boys at work love my Rocky Road, well this week Chris told me he got into BIG trouble by his girlfriend for not taking her some last time I made it. Well we can't have that can we, so I made another batch on Monday night. After I'd made it I looked and thought, 'that's not even going to touch the sides' so i made another batch. Believe me by Tuesday lunchtime the whole company was so sugar loaded if the drug squad had come through we would definitely have had trouble explaining. When I cut it up into squares, I snaffled two pieces and made a little presentation box for Chris to pass on. This is how it looked:

Here's my recipe, I was told this batch was the best I'd ever made. Enjoy!

125g unsalted butter
200g plain chocolate
200g milk chocolate
3tbsp golden syrup
200g milk chocolate digestives
mini marshmallows
chopped mixed nuts
Melt the butter golden syrup and all chocolate together and stir until it is smooth (resist the urge to stick your finger in and lick it!).

Batter the biscuits to bits, try and keep them a bit chunky.
Stir the biscuits, mixed nuts and marshmallows into the chocolate mixture.
Pour into a greased dish and refrigerate overnight until solid.
Cut into squares and stuff your face.

Top tip

I've used all sorts of different chocolate from reall good quality to Asda smart price the best comments came with the Asda chocolate, so save your money.

If you lose your way, or have dropped in on me directly and want to follow the hop, you can see the full list with all the links here . ETA Remember to comment on each blog and then go back to UKS and comment there to be in with a chance of winning a £25 voucher, I am offering a vine for commetners on this blog. It is important that you include your UKScrappers name in your comment. I have created a page with some handmade flowers, I was inspired by the beautiful Prima branches, as usual I looked at them and thought I bet I could make those. This was my first attempt and I'm pretty pleased with myself. Also on the layout you should spot a lovely voile flower, some tiny pearl flowers and a couple of blossoms made from scallop circle punches. Although the bought flowersand vines are beautiful if you need to use

End of Summer Blog Hop

Hello to all you UK Scrappers blog hoppers, hopefully you have arrived from Ifa's blog, I have been a fan of Ifa's clean scrapbooking style, how lovely is that layout. Well the project I made is another take on what you can do with the vines I featured on the last blog hop. Often you see these things and think 'well they are lovely but what will I do with it'. Scrapbooking supplies are not just for scrapbooking. I bought a bargain frame from a 'cheap' shop and wanted to add a bit of va va voom to it.I thought it was wood so was going to paint and crackle it,, turning it shabby and planned to give it a vintagey theme. Well that went out the window when I realised it was plastic. Plan B then, I painted it with Gesso to give it a bit of 'tooth' so that whatever I did would grip. I followed this with a couple of coats of cream paint and sanded the edges. This was followed with a sheet of 12x12 cut down to the same size as each panel and glued

Vine Tutorial

On Monday morning I took part in the UKScrappers blog hop , who would have predicted the response to the flowers I had made for the layout. In particular the rose vine. I was flabbergasted, but promised I would let everybody know how I had done it. If anybody does make one of these vines please could you credit me and if posted in a blog I would appreciate a link back to me. I was absolutely inspired by the gorgeous Prima vines , I have purchased many but due to the cost they remain in my stash, I am too frightened to use them because they are not cheap. They fall into the category of 'waiting for a special projrect'. This made me challenge myself to see if i could make something similar. Firstly you will need to gather your supplies Florist wires florist paper tape paper flowers - they need to have a 'tail' on them, I used these card stock to make leaves either a leaf punch or die to cut leaves, I used these distress ink Cut as many leaves as you
