I suck a small hole in the chocolate, then use my tongue to melt all the honeycomb. The challenge is to do it without making too big a hole in the chocolate.

My first world problem today is that the air con isn't working (hasn't been for over a week but it's been unseasonably mild so I couldn't be arsed to get someone out) and the temperatures here are due to plummet.

How very dare the weather do such a thing in the winter!!! We're in Australia for goodness sake.

lol I haven't eaten maltesers for years, so I think your fist and my throat are pretty safe

Weather is supposed to warm up again midweek, so it'll all be good.

Promise.

I used to love maltesers- sadly they are now verboten. All this talk of how you eat them has me almost drooling into my wine......

I make maltesers cheesecake. I'll see if I can't figure out maltesers macarons and give those a try.

Yes, that's why we had the party at Southbank, a dozen 12 year old boys running around my house on that type of sugar high wasn't my idea of a good time.

It was good, but a little goes a long way.

KitKat used to be my favourite. When I was little my mom used to take me with her every Friday into the city (we lived in the country). She would give me 5c so I could buy myself a treat to keep me occupied while she was at the hairdresser. Back then I could buy a KitKat for a nickel, or a box of Smarties or a little pocket dolly. Funny how more than 40+ years later I remember that.
