This morning it is very rainy and cold outside. So we are being sensible and staying indoors, at least until we have to go out later and do some stuff. I have made some Caramello. My sisters will remember this delish sweet treat - I used an old recipe book of Mum's, with the recipes typed on the back of old Blind Assoc. calendar pages and glued into a scrapbook. It is very well used and covered in food smears, but somehow reminds me of Mum a lot. Here's the recipe should you wish to try it:
CARAMELLO
8 oz butter
5 oz brown sugar
1/2 tin condensed milk
2 tbsp golden syrup
1 lb crushed biscuits [I used Girl Guide ones!]
Melt butter in saucepan, add sugar, condensed milk and syrup. Heat gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add to biscuits. Press into greased dish. Cut while warm. ENJOY!
My sister Katy was the expert at this recipe in our house, growing up. Yay for big sisters!!

omigod it was soooo divine, although a bit sickly sweet after a few chunks of it...
When I was living in London in the early '90s, once Mum sent me a box of Caramello in the post. That's inspired me since to send food to people by post. I think it's so weird to eat something prepared on the other side of the world.
Glad you included the recipe. I thought it was more complicated than this! Maybe we'll try it some time and have Aud around and GLUTTONISE.
