Treats?

Depends if you mean treats that we can’t usually afford or treats that healthwise we shouldn’t have?
My go to treat now and then is a Bounty Bar, even better if I can find a dark chocolate one.

Both really. I'm still thinking about treats. I'm so looking forward to meeting up with an old friend on Monday. That will be a treat too.
Meanwhile my cupboard is full of the Twiglets, Picnic bars, Florentines, peaches and cherries. Oh and the Fry's Chocolate Creams and the Turkish Delight.
Note to self: do not go to that shop again!!

Aveline you really went to town on your treats😂

I know!

I love
Bounty
Frys Chocolate Cream
Chocolate covered raisins
Mint Aero
Raspberry Ruffle bars
Lidl large bags of chicken and stuffing crisps

Oreo. They have discontinued the dark chocolate Bounty bars unfortunately.

Anything with nuts for me.

DH has just come home with a big chocolate bar with crunchie bits in -just for me. Now, that's a treat.

A treat, in my book, is something you would like, but can’t have for health or financial reasons.
Foodwise, I think I can manage to treat myself to anything.
BUT , I’ve just come in from pottering around in the garden, and my back is killing me .
My treat would be to have a full-time gardener . Perhaps some wouldn’t call it a treat, More like a luxury😂 - well, there you have it !

Oh i love a starbar.
They're tiny now, though.

I have Diabetes Type 2 and IBS. Im searching for something that feels like a treat but doesn't upset my body. I buy lots of unusual things on line but after checking the ingredients they are not suitable. My ASon has enjoyed everything I have rejected. Still, the hunt goes on. hugs

I don't think I've eaten a starbar. Did they used to be called something else?
DH will go off shopping in the evening & buy all sorts of treats, it annoys me as I can't treat myself when I shop because our allocation of treats is used up with what he buys. And if we have a thimbleful of milk or a solitary teabag left, he will never check & buy more while he's there - too mundane. He also buys treats for the dog, & gives him far too many, I'm the one who takes him to the vets & cringes when he gets on the scales.

The vet puts dog on scales, not DH - sorry for all the pronouns!

Treats aren't treats though if they're easily accessible. As a child, sweets were unimaginable luxuries and strictly rationed. Things like smoked salmon or prawns were really big deals but can be every things these days. Maybe there are no more real treats for me any more.

A treat for me is DH making me a cup of tea or coffee one handed from his wheelchair, but Oreo you can make the dark chocolate ones yourself, www.flavoursonplate.com/bounty-recipe/

I think srarbars have always been srsrbars.
They're gloopy, and crunchy, and nutty, sweet and crunchy, all at once.
I suppose the nearest ghing would be a nutty picnic bar, but starbars are better.
They have a bit more gloop.

Oh, and a tiny bit salty, too.

I suppose ortolans or larks tongues in aspic would count as a treat as though I could even think of eating them (which I couldn't)

Asparagus picked and eaten on the day of purchase straight from the farm that grew it. Only available late April - late June.

Jersey Royals, cooked with mint and serveed with butter

The first bunch of daffodils

The first snowdrops and primroses in the garden or wild.

Oh, and a tiny bit salty, too.

I'll try one - gloopy works for me every time.

A treat for me today was to go to a pub, sit in their sunny quite garden with half a pint of beer and said to my daughter “I don’t care what we have to eat as long as it has chips with it”.

Oh that sounds like a lovely treat!
Chips as well..
I do love a nice beer garden.
