A few January thoughts

I was thinking about the festive tub chocolates you get during the Christmas period; during January they're reducing the price of the Tubs. Every year the same thing happens. We eat the Caramel and the Fondant filled chocolates first, I think Fondant is cream mixed with fruit syrup; we Brits are always copying the French. Then we eat the solid chocolates, then we look for the hazel nut cream ones. Finally we are left with a tub of Toffee coins and Toffee fingers. The toffee coins and fingers are very hard, they're usually wrapped in a metallic gold coloured wrapper. I can't eat them unless I hold them in my hand for 1 and a half minutes to make it soft. You need patience to enjoy them.

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to put a toffee coin in your oat porridge. It could melt and sweeten the flavour of the food? I don't know, I'll have to wait 11 months to try it.
