It's a new year, and I should probably make another effort to keep updates coming more regularly. So what with New Years being all about healthy eating, here's something that's not, on pintrest.
One sheet of ready made puff pastry, because new years eve is no time for making pastry when you could be doing anything else at all. Roll it out just over a foot square, ish. Or more or less, whatever, i'm not a cop.
The original has a large bar of chocolate, but it seemed like a much better idea to use Cadbury's Caramel, but the bar is a bit smaller than the one in the video, so...
...Improvise! Splitting the bar into three strips filled out the pastry much better, but then what to do about the large gaps? Marshmallows. Always marshmallows.
Cut in at an angle and fold the ends over to hopefully stop the contents leaking everywhere.
Slice the sides in strips and fold over in a lattice, alternate sides, then egg wash the pastry.
Bake it for 10-15 minutes at 180C and then see how it looks, if it's not golden yet, give it a bit longer.
Impressively very little leaked out, although it was fairly fragile, getting it from the tray to the plate was a bit trickier than imagined, but it survived.
It was everything I wanted it to be, and the caramel and marshmallows were the right decision, as expected.
Would I make this again, yes, would I probably die early as a result, yes. Would it be worth it? Yes.
