For the last few days I have been making cakes and sweets for a fundraising event. Here are three of my favourite recipes, which I use all the time.

TABLET

Ingredients:

2lb bag of granulated sugar
1 x 397g tin of Nestle condensed milk
1 x small cup of milk
2oz of butter


Method:

Empty the 2lb of sugar into a large pan.
Add the milk, butter and condensed milk to the sugar.
Using a wooden spoon, mix well and then bring to the boil.
Simmer the mixture for 25 minutes and stir frequently.
Remove from the heat.
Beat well, until thick and creamy.
Pour the mixture into a lightly greased baking tray.
When cool, mark into squares with a knife.
Leave to set and then remove from the baking tray.

I usually wrap the squares of tablet in greaseproof paper to keep it fresh.


TOP HATS

Ingredients:

1 packet of marshmallows
1 packet of jelly tots
1 bar of cooking chocolate

Method:

Lay out 30 petit four baking cases on a flat surface.
Melt the chocolate.
Put half a teaspoon of melted chocolate into each petit four case.
Place a marshmallow into the melted chocolate.
Put a small blob of melted chocolate on top of each marshmallow.
Place a jellytot on top of the chocolate.

To keep fresh I store these in an airtight container.


MALTESER TRAY BAKE

Ingredients:

110g (4oz) of butter
225g (8oz) of milk chocolate
225g (8oz) of crusshed digestive biscuits
225g (8oz) of maltesers (leave ten aside)
225g (8oz) of white chocolate (milky bar)
3 tablespoons of syrup

Method:

Put the milk chocolate, butter and syrup into a large saucepan and melt gently over a low heat.
Add the crushed digestive biscuits and the maltesers, and mix well.
Pour the mixture into a 28cm x 20cm (11" x 8") lightly greased baking tray.
Leave to set.
Cover with a layer of melted white chocolate.
Crush the ten maltesers and sprinkle over the white chocolate.
Using a knife mark off into squares and leave to set.

It is a good idea to wrap this in greaseproof paper to keep it fresh.

These are a few of my tried and tested recipes for sweets. They are normally sold very quickly at fundraising events.

Summary: Good fundraisers
