At least the practicing is tasty!!  ;D ;D

Exactly!
Michele, could use melted chocolate to glue the petals back together, and hold until set....or blitz them up and sprinkle over cupcakes or add to a cake?
You really have to work quickly before they harden  :)

Also tried these today.  My microwave doesn't heat very evenly.  when the ends were soft the middle of the stick was rock hard.  When the middle was soft the ends had exploded. 

I'll keep trying, no photos of the mess I made.

DJ - try here for a brief explanation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musk_stick

then google and go to images (sorry - don't know how to transfer images to the forum - something I need to learn!)

Don't know of any UK equivalent . .

YaY....banana lollies work just as well.







They are probably easier to mould.
I cut each banana into 6 pieces once microwaved, following the same directions as the musk sticks.

Oh Maddy just gorgeous, how could you ever let anyone eat them after all the trouble you go to.  I would just let them look at them no touching. :D

I think I would too.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
