Fair trade Baking

Yesterday afternoon we all worked together to do some baking using fair-trade ingredients.  We had to gather our ingredients and our equipment before we could get started.  The ingredients we used were 125g butter, 200g digestive biscuits, 300g dark chocolate, 100g marshmallows and 3 tablespoons of golden syrup.

First, we had to wash our hands very carefully.

Secondly, we broke up the chocolate into smaller pieces and put it into a glass bowl.

Then, we had to put the bowl of chocolate onto the hob and stir it until it was melted.  WARNING!  Be careful as the bowl gets very hot.

After that, we sliced the butter and put it into the bowl to melt also.

 

Next, we added the 3 tablespoons of syrup and stirred until it had all melted and mixed together.

 

Following this, we poured half of the chocolate into another bowl.

Before we could add the digestive biscuits we broke them up into smaller pieces and we started to add it to the bowl of chocolate and mix it together.

 

Afterwards, we slowly added the marshmallows and continued to mix it together.  WARNING! Do not lick the spoon – it is very unhygienic.

Now, it was time to put the mixture onto the baking tray and smooth it out flat.

Finally, we added the extra chocolate to the top.

 

 

This morning, Mrs Allan had to slice the cake and put it on display for the bake sale.  We can’t wait until we go to buy it later and see how it tastes.

 

 

YUM! YUM!
