I could go on for some time. It`ll look stunning on your kitchen shelf!

Treacle Toffee Bangers
Treacle Toffee Bangers - £2.22
Price on 28-Oct-09 from A Quarter Of....
Treacle Toffee Bangers - think treacle toffee (a rich, treacly, boiled sweet) and then add a fizzy orange sherbet centre (same sort of principle as a sherbet lemon - but fizzier - ) Why a banger? Because the sherbet explodes in your mouth once you have sucked through the treacke toffee (ok - a little artistic licence used there but you know what I mean!!) Some people also call these Bonfire Toffee Bangers because they are fab on Fireworks Night - but its such a terrible shame to only enjoy them then - they are just too good! They are incredibly moreish -
