I’m a closet fan of Fry’s Chocolate Cream. It’s kind of a guilty pleasure of mine. Before I went on maternity Leave I used to buy one at the shop around the corner from work to galvanise myself to go in there. One day I was standing outside the shop savouring every morsel when a youngish ‘chap’ (dressed in tweed blazer but with jeans, I’d say he was a ‘chap’.) stopped, backtracked, looked at the bar, then at me and said firmly “Good choice!” before wending his merry way up Fleet Street. It amused me all day. I rather like to think his surname was Fry!!
The love of fondants has been with me all my life. I blame my nan, for whom we regularly used to make Peppermint Creams for Mother’s Day. So this year, with two daughters, my family complete and the Mothership round the corner for the first time in years, I figured we’d make some for my children’s Granny. It was fairly simple actually, though to be honest I’ve eaten so much I now feel sick. But I’m overwhelmed with nostalgia: I’m hoping that the DH remembers how much I love Rose Creams when he dashes out tomorrow morning with my baby girls to buy my Mother’s Day present!!
That is my all time favourite chocolate and my guilty pleasure ever since I was a student! Found your blog via Muddling Along Mummy. Great! Gorgeous photos Lx
I did indeed score the Rose and Violet Creams from Waitrose, oh and some Sapphire earrings;-)
I love Frys chocolate creams – had one last night in fact when i was home alone. What about a spot of Kendall mint cake – hmmmmm 🙂 x
Oh those look lovely. I've forgotten how much I like peppermint creams
Hope that someone realises & got you your favourite creams
