Ever resourceful, into the freezer they go. MacGyver has nothing on me

You could chill them then grind them up to make a base for a cheesecake or something. I'm hungry now. I want cheesecake now. And Malteasers! I may need to send my parents an SOS for chocolate.

I was going to just break off chunks and shove them in, but the cheesecake base idea sounds good too 😎

Whip up some cream and drop the small geezers in it, and freeze it to make and ice cream of sorts.

I've been there a few times with Arizona 110 degree heat.
We have had to ask our family not to send chocolates in the winter, but still go ahead and buy them and send them over with the ones they buy in the winter

I got lucky and stopped my mum from sending any more chocolate, we had a close call.

Trying to get some tea and other bits and pieces though...

Default Re: My family love me but.....

Stick them in the freezer for a short while. just until the chocolate firms up, but still able to get them apart. Another idea, put some foil on a baking tray and put the Maltesers in a single layer and put in freezer.
