Oh yeah, back to baking!! How I love it. Not sure if this can really be called baking seeing as I only
turned the oven on to roast the peanuts, but I did melt the Caramels on the stove. Does that count as baking??! Lol. I got my Bake-On cos Sunday we are having a "Baby Afternoon Tea" for Felicity who is due to have Baby #2 on Monday! (Nothing like leaving it to the last minute!) She didn't want a Baby Shower cos she doesn't need more stuff, like toys and play mats and feeding pillows that you get with Baby #1. Plus we've done all the baby theme games before so this time we're just going to get together for some girly chat time and eat delicious delicacies with our cousins and some 
close friends. Sounds very grown up and posh to me! Mum, Alicia and I have all planned some fun and tasty foods, whipping out our old fave recipes plus adding some new fun ones in there too. I decided to try making Mother Lode Pretzels which I read about in a Taste of Home Mag and got on line here. They were fun to make, but beware if you get caramel in odd places it is VERY sticky!! You melt Jersey Caramels with a little Evaporated milk, dip your pretzel rod into it while it's still warm and then roll them in assorted toppings. I rolled in roasted crushed peanuts, mini M&M's and mini Marshmallows. It's a bit tricky to work out the pressure you can exert before the Pretzel rod becomes a tiny heap of pretzel crumbs, but I got it right quickly and didn't waste too many rods! I had to taste test one or two also, just for QC, and they are really nice with their mix of sweet and savoury. YUM!! I can't wait to see what others think of them!

Wow I can't believe how much baking you do, you are amazing... I am really looking forward to the Chambers Christmas Bash to see what amazing Chrissie things you turn up with. Shame about the non-event Baby Shower, what will do with all that food? Probably won't keep till Christmas... Congratulations Auntie Charlotte, AJ
