Romance is not dead with Abra-ca-Debora pancakes

Never thought of Dutch pancakes as being romantic?

Picture the scene. You and your honey, with a 200g bag of Abra-ca-Debora "diddy sweet Dutch pancakes" and a jar of honey to dip them in as you watch a romantic film together on Valentine's Day, along with a suitable bottle of wine?

What could be more romantic than that?

Or what about a pack of six Sweet Dutch Pancakes from Abra-ca-Debora to make the basis of a romantic Valentine's Day breakfast? Or a romantic lunch or tea, instead?

Apparently you have to consume the mini dipping pancakes within three days of opening. Although after eating these deliciously little morish treats, we are of the opinion that they are more likely to last you three minutes rather than three days!

The mini dipping pancakes don't have to be warmed (though there's nothing to stop you doing this) but you can cook the larger size pancakes. They are a very flexible friend as you can oven cook them, pan fry or even microwave.

We served ours with honey and chocolate hazelnut spread and they were absolutely delicious. In fact they are the only commercially cooked pancakes that I have tried that really could be taken as home cooked, but in the best possible sense of that term.

They are suitable for vegetarians, but not vegans

To learn more visit their website www.Abra-ca-Debora.co.uk and see a whole host of fantasitc recipe ideas.

Not only are these pancakes great for a Valentine's Day treat, they'll be perfect for Shrove Tuesday, too!

They should be available at your local supermarket. If in doubt, ask at your supermarket's customer service desk.

And don't forget about Easter, too!

INGREDIENTS
2 Sweet Abra-ca-Debora Dutch Pancakes
25g butter
50g milk or dark chocolate, broken into chunks
1.5 tbsp golden syrup
50g cornflakes
Bag of Cadbury Mini Eggs
METHOD
Place pancakes in a bowl. Melt the butter, chocolate and golden syrup in a saucepan over a low heat, or briefly in the microwave. Allow the mixture to cool slightly and then pour over the cornflakes. Mix with a wooden spoon.
Spoon the mix over one half of each pancake, fold over, allowing some of the mix to peep out.
Nestle the little eggs into the opening amongst the flakes

Choc nibbles. What you should buy for the chocolate lover in your life

I don't think anyone would mind me saying that Choc Nibbles might not be the most sexy or the best best looking chocolates you have ever seen, but they will be amongst some of the best and most sexy chocolates that you or your beloved have ever tasted.

Sweetdreams have been making Choc Nibble products in the North East of England for three decades.

The are small pellets of chocolate that are all created to a unique and secret recipe dreamed up by the family who own the business way back in 1985.

Whilst they may look unusual (quirky is one term used to describe them) they will transport your beloved directly to chocolate Heaven as they are not so much moorish as utterly, irresistibly addictive! So be warned!

They make Original Choc Nibbles, Toffee Crumble, Orange Choc Nibbles, Mint Choc Nibbles and Choc Lick.

They are all velvety smooth, yet also with an understated yet perfect bit of extra bite, too. Except for Chock Lick, which is just velvety smooth and is ideal for just eating by the spoonful or for using to add oomph to your otherwise ordinary drinking chocolate or for adding to coffee to make a mocha that is so Heavenly you just will not believe how good it is until you try it for yourself.

The flavours of each of the products are nothing short of perfection in chocolate form and if you have to buy a Valentine's Day gift for a chocolate lover, if you really want to make them happy buy them several pounds in weight of a mixed batch of Choc Nibble products, but them in a big fancy heart-shaped box with a big ribbon on it and watch them enter chocolate Heaven. If you are lucky they'll perhaps share some with you, but perhaps they won't!

They are great value for money, a 200g grab bag costs a remarkably modest £1!

You can even buy them in giant 3kg jars!
