\"Scrumdiddlyumptious<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

When I was brainstorming ideas for this Easter Countdown I decided I wanted to try and feature some fantastic Easter presents. My original plan was a Faberge Easter egg. How fantastic would that be! Well great plan, turns out I couldn’t find an appropriate Easter egg mould and I didn’t trust my own ability to decorate to the level of Faberge and then I hit upon it. Scrumdidlyumptious Bars.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You know Willy Wonka!<\/span><\/p>\n

It just so happens that Monsieur From Scratch is a connoisseur of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, which makes this a perfect idea. \u00a0Anyway I decided instead of Easter Eggs for all my beloved Family I would make them Scrumddidlyumptious Bars. The issue here \u2013 what is a Scrumddidlyumptious Bar? All I seem to know is that – I don’t ask a fish how it swims, or a bird how it flies, no siree I don’t.<\/span><\/p>\n

The real question is – can I take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew, cover it with chocolate and a miracle or too \u2013 and make the perfect bar of Chocolate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well I may not be a Candy Man, but I certainly know this, everyones tastes differ so the only way to get to the bottom of my family’s perfect Chocolate bar? Simple… Just ask!<\/span><\/p>\n

And here are the results:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. White Chocolate (read Milkybar) with Raisins and Nuts<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. A mix of Milk and White chocolate flowing in ribbons with juicy Raisins, bubbles of Praline with some Honey crisp bits with caverns of soft Caramel<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Orange Chocolate with Hazelnuts<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Dark Chocolate with Almonds and Cointreau<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Layers of Nougat, Caramel and Biscuit, covered in milk Chocolate with an embedded champagne truffle – This one even came with an instructional \u00a0drawing<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"Dans<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

    As you can see a varying degree of challenges, but all well worth attempting.<\/span><\/p>\n

    SO can I mix it with love and make the world taste good?<\/span><\/p>\n

    Find out tomorrow! (Don’t you just love a cliff hanger)<\/span><\/p>\n

    In the meantime why not get planning your perfect chocolate bars, all you really need is some chocolate to melt (I am planning to use a thin loaf tin for my chocolate mould) and some goodies to place in it. That way you will have the perfect Easter gifts.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
