Any idea?

I'll give you a clue. Everyone likes them. The winner will get one.

Jelly, chocolate, orange peel, flour, sugar and egg...In a cup

Mmmmmmmm

What had jelly and chocolate.....the jelly is really throwing me off. Too small to be a trifle and you can’t take it out of that.

Choc and orange mini mooses?

Yeah it's not trifle. Currently got jelly setting in fridge for an hour, another 15 minutes to go.
Hmm, recipe called for zest, I hope I don't get too.much of a mouthful of it.

Winner. \o/

Yay,I take it you made them before?Think I may have a bash myself.

Merlin5 · 16 May 2019 at 20:21

Nope I've never made them before.

I just decided today to see if there's a recipe on YouTube and there's one or two. Mine is a Mary Berry one but I added a teaspoon of marmalade as well which another recipe suggested.

Merlin5 · 16 May 2019 at 20:46

Hmm, odd. The batter is meant to make 12 but I've run out after filling 7 holes in my bun tin and I've only filled each 3/4 full which is what the recipe says. I'll have to make a little more.

Saint1972 · 16 May 2019 at 21:08

Just make one great big one

Merlin5 · 16 May 2019 at 21:15

I might next time

Ok, I made some more batter. So into the oven now for 8 minutes. Then I'll melt chocolate.
My jelly has turned out looking good.

Raymond Lin · 16 May 2019 at 21:25

Ah, nice!

Saint1972 · 16 May 2019 at 21:28

That jelly looks spot on.

Love a good Jaffa cake. When I was in Amsterdam I found a stall selling giant ones almost a foot across. Heaven

Might have a go at this at the weekend

Merlin5 · 16 May 2019 at 21:41

Ok, getting there. Sponge is baked and cooling. No idea if it will be any good or not. The process is fun though

Merlin5 · 16 May 2019 at 22:03

Nearly there.

Merlin5 · 16 May 2019 at 23:51

Not too shabby for first attempt

Tuppy_Glossop · 17 May 2019 at 06:33

Great job, Merlin, how do they taste? Is the base authentic?

the-evaluator · 17 May 2019 at 10:33

They look awesome!

Raymond Lin · 17 May 2019 at 10:47

Fantastic!

A mess?

In all seriousness - they do look awfully good
