DH and I don’t buy each other many gifts as we have got to a stage in life where there is little that we need/want, however as it was our anniversary I pushed the boat out and bought him a quarter of coconut ice ? which he is already chomping into.
I have to admit I also bought myself a quarter of mint toffees, only to suck as I don’t want any fillings to come out.
What would you choose from the sweet shop, especially if I told you they were calorie free ?
Tablet is a concoction of sugar, condensed milk, butter and vanilla extract. It has a million calories and destroys your teeth, but it is so addictive and delicious. ?
Not bothered about calorie free, but if there was a filling amnesty for my teeth well, peanut brittle, sugar mice , rum and raisin toffees, that banana flavoured tray toffee you hit with a little hammer, nougat, honeycomb, oh the list is endless!
I just bought myself the biggest box of jelly babies. The only good think about being type 1 diabetic is the instruction to eat four jelly babies (or glucose tablets which is no treat) whenever I find myself going into a diabetic hypo. In spite of many many hypos I still love jelly babies.
Oh Terry's Neapolitans, now we're talking. My grandfather used to buy them occasionally and we'd share them in front of the TV. Trio biscuits have made a comeback. Not really a sweet person and especially now most chocolate tastes the same.
DOGSMOTHER my GC love home made tablet ,but I only make it once in a blue moon now as like you I EAT it,the diet is desrtoyed its really is a work of the devil...but I cant resist it.Very odd because I dont have a sweet tooth for anything else
The reason I became prediabetic undoubtedly ? my sweet tooth. However I got over it and now have self control and can have a little of what I fancy now and again, so here goes. Coconut mushrooms Maple Brazil’s Coconut Ice Crispets Turkish Delight ( from Turkey) Tablet Well actually all things mentioned so far probably I am a lost cause.
Didnt Spangles become starburst? Never liked anything with coconut in or nougat but love anything chocolatey especially mint aero or cadburies mint creams. Also coffee cream chocs and Crunchy bars. I did like liquorice all sorts though especially the black roll with white fondant in the middle.
