todayiamadaisyMy mother came to see me the other day, bursting with excitement. She'd been to afternoon tea with a friend, and had been served the most exciting thing ever. What's more, she'd got the recipe.
Do you want to see it?
What you're looking at there is a Chocolate Royal biscuit (plain biscuit base topped with jam and pink marshmallow and dipped in chocolate), with a jaffa and a mint leaf jube attached with white chocolate. It looks almost like a mini-Christmas pudding and tastes of sweet.
My mother got this idea from her friend Lyn, who got it from a fellow member of her Caravan Club, who presumably got it from another sixty-something somewhere else in the country. My mother made these not for me (I only got this one), but for afternoon tea with another friend, who loved it so much she's going to make some of her own for nibbles on Christmas Day. Seriously, the late-middle-aged ladies love these. I like the idea that you could trace the path of this thing via afternoon teas.
