Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.

The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

One of my mates uses a bag of mixed dried fruit and nuts so you get some saltiness too, as you do indeed get fed up of sweet gels etc after a few hours. ready salted crisps and pretzels are also a good one [is feeling hungry now ]

Dingley Apr 2019 3:14pm, 17 Apr 2019 35 posts	Quote Pin Dingley they do sound quite nice
GlennR Apr 2019 3:20pm, 17 Apr 2019 41,998 posts	Quote Pin GlennR Yes, you have to add more chocolate to get the brown colour I did.
Dingley Apr 2019 4:03pm, 17 Apr 2019 37 posts	Quote Pin Dingley and at least with them being turd shaped, nobody will pinch them
GlennR Apr 2019 4:11pm, 17 Apr 2019 42,005 posts	Quote Pin GlennR Exactly. Maffetone's version looks too much like flapjack.
