Happy Valentine's Day

Well... we don't usually observe St Valentine's Day in this household, but it's still nice to acknowledge the date! I made a little Valentine's basket and chocolate slice as a special treat for my daughter:



I had a tough time photographing this one because the light was terrible!  The photograph above shows it empty, and these ones show it full:

Here's the recipe I use for Mars Bar slice:

3 x 65g Mars Bars
90g butter
3 cups Rice Bubbles
200g Cadbury milk chocolate

* Melt Mars Bars and butter together.  (Supposed to be on the stovetop, but I just nuke in the microwave...)
* Mix in the Rice Bubbles
* Press the mixture into a lined slice tray.
* Melt the milk chocolate and spread evenly over the top.
* Refrigerate until set and then cut into bite-sized pieces

Easy!!



And... just so my true Valentine doesn't feel left out and unloved, I made him a little card too.  And if he's quick, he might even get some of the Mars Bar slice!!
