Don't mention the J word to me - I can't stand jelly. Urgggh - the thought of it wobbling around - yuck! And yes I am a little strange!!

I wasn't making things with it - just fancied some chocolate and we don't have any in but then I remembered that we had cooking choc - not a mistake I'm going to repeat again!!

I love eating cooking chocolate raw! I'd completely forgotten! When I was a child I used to steal it out of the cupboard because Mom didn't use it that often so she wouldn't notice that I'd eaten it!! :o:o I was a sneaky child!

...why is it called 'chocolate'? What a misnomer. The stuff is awful even to cook with. Tastes foul.

I buy the store's own brand value/basics dark chocolate. So much better for baking, and not too disgusting if you want a sneaky nibble.....

...oh, yes, and it's cheaper too!;)

Cooking chocolate is foul. I'm a raw jelly kind of girl too. It was all I used to eat when I was expecting No 1 son .

JBJB - I wasn't referring to either your jelly belly or your jelly brain :D but the foul stuff that Mr Swirl and the girls like. I can make it if I have too but I don't even like watching them eat it.

Haven't had cooking chocolate since I was 6. I use 65-70% dark chocolate instead now... usually lindt. Costs more maybe but tastes great.

Years ago when our nephew was about 3 he thought it would be great fun one meal time to blow Jelly through straws at my house proud SIL's walls. She didn't see the funny side but my nephew and his Dad did, (not a 'before kids' me of course - hehe:mf:, now I wouldn't see the funny side if mine did it)

Good point - Matt might have put some chocolate onto the tree while we were at Preston. I'll have a look now!!

oooh! Christmas tree chickens, can't think of where I could source some of those...... Any ideas?

You guys would absolutely love my house, I have "emergency chocolate" stashed in at least 3 places (including next to my bed), jelly beans (1kg thereof, the jelly belly ones with the awesome flavours), a bucket of sweets (2.5kg) left from halloween (drumsticks and so forth, all the favourites), mini dime bars (large jar of), ben and jerry's phish food in the freezer, and more...

..... and did I mention that I am not allowed to eat any of it?


nope, none of it, diabetes..... although when my blood sugar dips too low I am allowed to stuff my face with jelly beans.... There are some benefits!

jelly beans (1kg thereof, the jelly belly ones with the awesome flavours),

My favourite sweets .... obviously !!

I couldn't cope with knowing there was all that stashed away in the house!

My MIL ocassionally makes me a lemon meringue pie that is to die for. She only makes it ocassionally because I tend to eat it in one sitting. *blush*

If I put it in the fridge it sits there going "Emma..... Emma.... I'm here" in a sing-song voice!
