Loving Banana milk shake cant wait to try the strawberry! Anyone tried new bars yet?

[IslandBreeze]

My success rate on cooking packs is very poor - though am loving the fool-proof banana custard - but I'm thinking it sounds like there should be some tasty ways to create banana/choc or strawberry/choc by combining packs - has anyone tried this yet? What do you recommend?

I mixed a banana and choc pack together with only 200 mls of water to make it really thick, then put it in the microwave. Made a really yummy coc - banana custard that I ate with a tea spoon. Perfect for the cold weather yesterday! Mmm...

[carla]

Oh my..... I meant choc - banana, not coc - banana!

[Hiddenfishcake]

*snigger* nice Freudian slip there Carla!

I've tried mixing the vanilla and st clemence, and the chocolate with st clemence. Both taste great!

Does anyone know when the new bars will be available to buy?

[IslandBreeze]

Ah, that makes more sense!!!
Sounds yum - and if I make the two separately, then mix them, I can have a marbled type pudding - very posh!

Well, my LLC took pity on me tonight and gave me one each of the new flavours to try! I can't decide how to use them - hot banana custard, perhaps or cool banana milkshake? Or maybe a strawberry mousse?

In this cold weather it's got to be the banana custard - scrummy!

Oooh Peeps
Just have to share my 'new discovery'

Is a variation of the 'hot banana custard with crunch' but using the strawberry pack, (cold)

I didnt use a whole nutcrunch - divided it into 3, so crumble the nutcrunch bar in a bowl,then add the mixed strawberry pack, (using less water so it's quite thick).... oooh its bloody delicious I had one this morning, which made me feel like I was having 'ceral' ( not quite my fav crunchy nut nutty!) but was nice..... and have just had another one.... could pretend it was like one of those yogurts with the crunchy bits in it!

Saving my last bit of the bar till tomorrow morning for more 'ceral' mmmmmmmmmm

Hope you enjoy it if you try it

[Sez]

ooh Geri, I like the sound of that!

I am also thinking I might try a banana muffin, with half a nut bar crumbled in, or make a choc brownie (choc pack, 1/2 bar, sweetners and coffee) and pour hot banana custard over it..mmmmm

Shame I already had my bar and my banana pack today....

Still, theres black pepper chicken crisps late, with some Marigold! A lovely TV snack!!

[Samantha]

Can I ask how you make the custard?

Do you just add hot water or do you microwave it and how much hot water?

[Geri]

Oooh Sez

Not sure if these new packs will make a muffins, you can be our guinea pig Think these new packs may well keep me on track!

[Geri]
