I’ve been AWOL from my blog (and all the fun things in my
life) due to studying and generally being dull and miserable.
Luckily, I have a brief 6 week reprieve now, so I’m busting
back into my kitchen! Don’t call it a comeback.
During my study sessions, I needed to keep well fed, with
plenty of flavoured coffee and sugar. Which is how I came across the concept of
tiffin. It’s basically minty Rocky Road with a delicious creamy oreo filling.
And it’s incredible. Mint and chocolate is the best combination and nothing
will ever convince me otherwise. I didn’t add mint to the chocolate part
because I wanted that to stand on its own, and I wanted the minty filling to be
a good contrast. However, the addition of a few scattered mint chocolate chips
was actual genius, if I do say so myself. Every couple of bites you get a extra
mint explosion and it’s really stellar.
Now, normally I wouldn’t advocate using such a “rare”
ingredient as mint oreos, since you couldn’t get them in UK shops. BUT about
three weeks ago they launched them here. Which is both exciting and awful.
Exciting because they’re my favourite thing ever and I can eat a whole packet
in a day. Awful because they’re my favourite thing ever and I will eat a whole
packet in a day. So I was good. I I didn’t buy a random packet to munch on, but
I devised a recipe to allow me to buy and use 2/3 of a packet.
Oh, but what happened to the other 1/3? Don’t worry about
it.
Anyway. This is the favourite thing I’ve made recently and
you should all make it if you want to enrich your lives.
