Sharabelle bakes

I'm happily sitting here with a cup of peppermint tea, and a tasty marmalade flapjack.  It seems to be a theme with me lately, buying products and not liking the taste.  The last time it was Peanut butter, this time. Product review   Morrisons Thick Cut Marmalade I always have marmalade on rice cakes along with my breakfast in the morning.  I'm very particular about the type of marmalade I like.  I love the kind with Peel in it. It also must have a sharp citrus taste.  Dundee in Scotland has a long tradition of producing marmalade, so it's probably a Scottish obsession.   So I was very disappointed when I tried out Morrisons thick cut marmalade.  It has a nice amount of peel and I nice citrus kick, but then your left with the taste of burnt caramel in your mouth.  Not a very pleasant after taste.   Recipe Review I hate waste, so I wasn't going to throw it out.  So I decided to bake with it instead....

Necessity is the mother of invention I'm still attempting to use up the baking/cooking ingredients I bought to use at Christmas.  I avoid wasting food as much as possible.  One of my favourite ways of doing this, is to turn them into something else.   Hence the invention of my Chocolate Chip, Banana & Peanut butter Flapjacks.  It wasn't till last year that I discovered dairy free Chocolate, which was great.  However it's been so long since I had any other chocolate apart from the drinkable variety, that Iv kind of lost my taste for it.  I'd originally bought them to bake cookies for my Niece who is also lactose intolerant.  So I was looking for a recipe to use them up. They work great in this recipe because they compliment the other flavours, instead of overshadowing them.  I love both Banana's and peanut butter, so what could be better than putting the two of them together. The recipe title might be a mouthful to sa...
