lol =) talking about food generally always makes me want it too. but i have to say... Cadbury's changed their recipe in recent years. anyone else notice this? the milk chocolate just doesn't taste as nice anymore. it's so sweet! but their Old Gold is really nice <3

A very random note - either I am experiencing nuclear war .... or my dog is snoring lol. I suspect it is the latter, but I cannot be sure.
Mod
Haha! Snoring dog :/ Ours does it all the time;)
Just finished a mega baking session - 2 doz scones, 2 doz raspberry and white choc muffins and 2 doz profiteroles for our work Cancer Council Biggest morning tea tomorrow. Pooped out now!And we still have 1/2 bar vegemite chocolate sitting on the bench. Unheard of in this family where I have to go to extreme lengths to find new hiding places for the cooking chocolate!

Ashleigh wrote: "Coles had no milo chocolate today!"Been keeping an eye out for it as a friend of mine needs cheering up and she loves Milo.
Did see another new one - a pretzel and caramel (I think) Cadbury chocolate though
Has anyone seen the Cadbury Milo? I think it's a gee up.I did hear that someone has just photo shopped the Cadbury vegemite wrapper.
What's the attraction of Milo chocolate? Milo is already chocolate - not to mention that there's already a Milo bar. I'm not sure how a block of Milo chocolate would be so different...?

Wow! how exciting! i've still yet to see it... i want to though. I wanted to see it with my mum and she just rolled her eyes and said no way! hehe
Brenda wrote: "We could just get a spoon plus a tin of Milo..."My hubby does this - drives me nuts!!! Mind you I don't usually serve dessert so he just has a scoop of Vanilla icecream with a couple of tablespoons of Milo on it!!!
RitaSkeeter wrote: "Only thing better is a jar of Nutella :) ..."I've never been able to get into nutella. Having said that - there is a man at the local Markets who has a pancake van and his biggest seller is a hot pancake with nuttella, fresh bannana and whipped cream - our oldest daughter goes there every Sunday. And doesn't share with her children or partner!!!!
I love Nutella! And I love putting milo on top of vanilla ice cream with Cottees chocolate topping.

I am happy enough to do things on my own. I don't like to wait for people, coz then I usually miss out. It will be the first time I have seen Les Mis as a play. I fell in love with the film when it came out... Was it last year?

Good job Carolyn!! I hope the morning tea is great. Mmm I feel like scones now ;)
I have somehow missed out on the last full page of messages here! Thought it was quiet yesterday!! Well done Carolyn with the cookfest! I hope your Biggest Morning Tea is a huge success...I'm sure it will be with all those goodies! ;))

I used to make my kids, and now make my grandkids special islands with ice cream, milo and a freddo standing up in the "soil" or gummy bears inhabiting the island;)
Yum Nutella on teddy bear biscuits one of or favourites!
I was given some of the pretzel chocolate for my birthday. It's yummy! Haven't dredged up enough courage for the vegemite one yet though.

I thought of you guys as someone had made choc chip cookies biscuits with a Nutella centre! And someone else had made a delicious chocolate mint fudge in a slow cooker! They were still selling leftover cakes this afternoon so not sure how much we made but somewhere in the region of $900.

do you like sorbet? i can't imagine life without either...
really random, and non-food related, but is it just me or do other people watch beautiful dance routines and feel inspired to start stretching so you can do the splits and start trying to do back walkovers, among other hard and impossible (for me) to do things? i do. almost every time i watch dances. and you know what? i end up feeling run over by a truck with a headache. it sucks.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6un76...

I love 'em, are a bit too involved for my kitchen skills! ;)
You all have so much fun here at Aussie Readers discussing important issues like whether to try the new Vegemite chocolate, a spoonful of Nutella, or Milo, share the secrets of a mega scone baking session, do the splits, or whatnot... Love it. x
