As if further proof was needed that we are not trained cooks I present to you tonight’s adventures which have resulted in a burnt finger (I am typing this one handed with my finger surrounded by frozen peas), a nearly ruined pan and several solid inedible lumps of walnut covered toffee like caramel which Doug has christened Titanium Nut Balls…..

So: what can I do with these? They are as hard as rocks and too large to use as sweets. All I can think of is to melt them down in a pan or a microwave and pour them over ice-cream. Any ideas folks?
