Rasp and cranberry bars

[Petey]

Thanks for the advice Corey, I shall give that a try if I get any in my next order

I love experimenting with them...if you do a bit of the R&C and a bit of the new nut one and press them together while still warm, then leave to cool, it's like flapjack

however...FUMOP...do not get distracted whilst cooking resulting in them turning into lumps of carbon...like I just did!

My LLC says that the factory making them is different. They are using the same ingredients and receipe but the bars are just coming out differently. I did notice that they were a bit harder and I thought a bit more "burnt" tasting. Used to be my fav now it is the lemon. I love to sit with a cuppa and pull little bits off. Lasts for ages!! But then, I am a bit strange like that!! lol

Petey - best way to do it, is 30 seconds max in the microwave (I have an 850w microwave), bring them out and press down with the back of a spoon, leave to cool for 5 minutes then eat - absolutely delicious.

When you take them out - they won't look as though anything has happened, but trust me - they have been nuked enough

Is your surname Oliver????

I'm his muse!!

I'm yet to experiment more than blending shakes with ice and coffee, and soups with pepper, chilli powder and tabasco!

Strange really as I like to think of myself as a bit of a chef!

I quite like the cheat my friend told me about - she made chilli for the family and added a spoon of it to her thai chilli soup ! I'm not into cheating, but I guess it tasted better!

I doubt that 1 spoon would - but that would depend on what was in the chilli - If you made it from scratch you would know.

I wouldn't even bother though - for me losing the weight is more important than a spoon of chilli. Besides I can add tabasco and black pepper (and I also add pure chilli powder) to make it taste better so why bother?

Well, as proper chilli powder is just ground dried chillis (and flakes are made from the same) it should not be an issue. Just check to ensure the chilli powder is 100% chilli with no flower, sugar or other nasties added.

No,I agree Mikey - I was just saying it our of curiosity and for arguments sake.

I don;t really do anything other the what my LLC says is allowed. The only exception I have made it the flavoured coffee and the marigold boullion because they are the same as normal stuff anwya.
BUt I agree.....not worth risking ketosis for anything in my book!!
