I had to clear the bourbon biscuits in my kitchen, because I needed to use the container for something else. I couldn’t find a good recipe anywhere on the wide world web, so I had to be a little innovative. If I may so myself, my little experiment turned out quite fine (and its super easy to make), so here we go:

Ingredients:

    10-12 bourbon biscuits
    6-8 cubes of chocolate (I used dairy milk)
    A block of butter
    2 tblspn honey
    Milk

Method:

  • 1. Line a container with clingfilm, leaving enough to fold over when full
    2. Melt the chocolate, honey and butter (each separately) in a microwave and mix together
    3. Grind / crush the bourbon biscuits to fine powder
    4. Mix the biscuits with the melted chocolate/honey/butter mix
    5. Add milk to the mix and mix well, till you get a slightly viscous consistency
    6. Tip the mixture into the container. Refrigerate for ~2 hours.

    • Tips:

      Goes well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
      You could try throwing in fruits and nuts, if you like.
      Try it out with other brands of biscuits

    Foolish child, don’t you know -
    A broken heart will never mend,
    A true love story will never end.

    I can feel you very near
    It’s as if you are here
    Is it a mirage, is it a shadow,
    Or memories from long ago?

    Celebrating my new blog template that allows short posts,
    Remembering all those that have come and gone before.

    I can prove it, if only I could spare the time.

    Fracturing time may have been the biggest human error of all times. Could anyone not agree with Plautus when he condemned that “wretch who first . . . set up a sundial in the market place to chop my day to pieces.”?

    For now, enjoy my favorite painting – Dali’s La persistencia de la memoria
