When I've used chocolate chips (instead of a bar of squares of chocolate), it can get more easily messed up - like it doesn't melt into a nice smooth liquid, instead it can be kind of chunky. Or maybe it was just overheated? I would love to try that haggis pizza!eatme_delicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14657772782487330009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-7153962744572916402011-04-26T17:18:02.275+10:002011-04-26T17:18:02.275+10:00You made tim tams!

Thank you s...Those Tim Tams are a must have for me! Thank you so much for posting it, as I lust after them and can't buy them here in Sweden. <br /><br />I was going to suggest the same as your mum - a bit of copha rather than the butter, though that should not have caused the chocolate to go gluggy as you were making it. Usually that happens if it comes in contact with water (even a drop or two can stuff it up) or you heat it too long. I'd suggest the copha only in order to keep the chocolate nice and shiny.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088355577823930786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-66414993293819449752011-04-23T23:54:51.257+10:002011-04-23T23:54:51.257+10:00Thanks Mel - the haggis pizza is great - and I thi...Thanks Mel - the haggis pizza is great - and I think I like the crosses on the buns because they make they particular to this time of year - without them they could be made at any time of year - but they are easier with the plastic bag for piping!<br /><br />Thanks Ricki - life is busy but it is worth finding the time for haggis pizza - will let you know if I find a bikkie/cookie recipe for the GF tim tams - though am not as good with experiments as you are<br /><br />Thanks Kayla - ooh it is not worth eating tim tams if they give you a rash - will keep you posted about any recipe developments<br /><br />Thanks Chele - love all the new versions of tim tams though I think the original is still the best - not sure you could do the slam with these ones though I think Lisa might have done so<br /><br />Thanks C - I empathise about freezer storage - feeling the pinch there too and have to fit tubs of stock in my freezer after making them today - argh! and I agree about the hand held blender - i use mine heaps so will buy a new one as soon as the school holiday craziness subsides at the shops<br /><br />Thanks Lorraine - I only heard of haggis pizzas a few weeks back but if you search the web it seems there are quite a few about (in Scotland I guess)<br /><br />Thanks Yaz - I think my chocolate seized after I tried to reheat it but not the first time - though I will read the link to check - and I did it twice - will be happy to try this with you - do you think we can find a good gf biscuit recipe?<br /><br />Thanks Hannah - of course you can come over - nut roast is out of the oven waiting for tomorrow (and it is GF too) - haggis is in the freezer and we might even have a bit of the chocolate mix still in the fridge - you could just help yourself :-)<br /><br />Thanks Joanne - everyone loved the tim tams but I only managed to cover half of mine because the chocolate was so thick - oops!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-43323049136897047302011-04-23T20:54:31.490+10:002011-04-23T20:54:31.490+10:00There is so much good food in this post!

Methinks you had a problem with your choc...Johanna,<br />Methinks you had a problem with your chocolate seizing, or at least it sounds so from your description. I used to have, in Australia, a great chocolate cookbook with an extended discussion of this. Not having it with me, I'll have to refer you to this website http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/tips-techniques/food-science-why-chocolate-seizes-048510<br />which describes the phenomenon. It is always disheartening when it happens, but it is a good reminder to treat chocolate with the reverence and respect that it deserves. Next time I'm in town, let's try the homemade Tim Tam again...Yazhttp://over-extracted.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-27907462303035289482011-04-23T08:45:30.532+10:002011-04-23T08:45:30.532+10:00Happy Easter Johanna and family.

The HCB look great - I haven't bothered this year due to lack of freezer storage space, but seeing everyone elses is making me jealous!<br /><br />I can just imagine Sylvia enjoying helping out with your pizza making. I hope you get a new hand blender soon - they're indispensable aren't they, and that you all have a good Easter holiday.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067886984635079539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-58096328378754455022011-04-23T05:45:08.162+10:002011-04-23T05:45:08.162+10:00How long has it been since I have been able to do ...How long has it been since I have been able to do a Tim Tam Slam!!!

Those Tim Tams look amazing. I was hoping for a cookie (biscuit) recipe as well so I could adapt them for the ACD. But you just know I'm going to have to try it myself, right? ;) Happy Belated Birthday to E! Looks like the man had a feast. I remember reading about your serendipitous haggis pizza last year and still haven't tried it myself. . . still on my list!
