The other day I had one of those Cadburys creme egg bars. And quite a few mini battenburgs. I felt so damn guilty after eating them. But it was nice at the time.

Mmm battenberg. Yummy. My poor brother always got one for his birthday cake as my mum always forgot to make him one! He didn't mind - he liked battenberg!

Yummmmm - I like battenburg as well - in fact I just love marzipan. The piggiest thing I think I ever did was to buy 6 of those chocolate coated flavoured marzipan slabs from Lidl - pick off all the chocolate which was disgusting - and eat the whole lot within an hour!

Yeah that's me... I love Marzipan. I used to buy blocks of it with my pocket money and make little animals etc out of them before munching the lot. I remember when Roses had Marzipan sweets in, my mum used to have to pick them all out before they were put out at christmas else I would literally eat the lot before dinner! Well, we did get up about 5am then, so I had plenty of time!

I LOVE marzipan - I always get loads of Spanish marzipan sweets for Christmas which I shouldn't eat... but do. And in Budapest last year I found a marzipan museum (complete with shop). Talk about temptation!

I'm not going to be able to get that thought out of my head tonight

I've been thinking about marzipan ever since reading this thread yesterday... I wonder if there's a low fat/low carb version....

Lovely cat, Helwa!

Well, I am not even going to try now....The French guy came back from his homeland with more chocolate for me! 2 packs of Pimms (their jaffa cakes in raspberry flavour - yum!) , a set of 4 chocolate scarab beetles and a fake lily of the valley with a chocolate pot.

I laugh now when I see that book about French women don't get fat (yeah right!) that's cos French men feed the English ones!!!!!

Maybe confessing is not a good idea. I need a toffee crisp now too.

This confession thread is actually grossing me out! I think I'll read it next time I have a craving... Luckily for me can't abide marzipan!
