despite still being a bit of a dark chocolate purist, i love the crazily sweet and addictive skelligs creation of mini marshmallows & honey comb in creamy milk chocolate. they are hand made and hand wrapped in our kerry workshop. in fact ,emily and i like it so much that it ended up looking very much like a cocoa bean invention wrapped in bright pink and orange. it's ours now colm - hands off!

happy all round

an inspired idea from my friend kyra - having spent all friday night making a superbly light and fluffy chocolate birthday cake for clara, she realised with only moments to go until the party started, that she had forgotten to ice it! she whipped out her homemade raspberry jam and used it to stick white and pink mini marshmallows all over the top of the cake. done in seconds! the children loved it.
