And I love the sound of the flavours! I'm just looking at the ingredient list and it looks very different to the recipe I tried, so maybe it's worth me trying your recipe and seeing how I get on :-) Thanks for the instructions, I'm gonna pin this to remind me to try it soon...Aimee / Wallflower Girlhttp://www.wallflowergirl.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600104279112331871.post-76599336496894282202013-09-21T10:15:20.117+10:002013-09-21T10:15:20.117+10:00No one is more surprised than I am Laura.

I've walked past them in shop windows and always thought they were a bit frou frou with all their daintiness and pastel shades. But I've read so much about how technical they are to make, I just had to take up the challenge. I may end up knee-deep in pastel pink and green discs by the time I'm done.

After all my reading, I decided that I would try the Italian technique of pouring hot sugar syrup into the beaten egg whites rather than the French technique of beating the dry sugar into the egg whites. From all my reading, this technique seems to give more people success. It worked for me.Milk and Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11875644940550457953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600104279112331871.post-73768595704978534842013-09-18T09:17:31.724+10:002013-09-18T09:17:31.724+10:00Haha Patty - what can I say that hasn't alread...Haha Patty - what can I say that hasn't already been said (by me) about my obsession with s'mores?
