Littlest came home with the instructions to make a fair trade recipe and have it typed up, cooked at home and to take a photograph to school of them making the said item. Needless to say I had one night warning, so it was off to the local Co-op to see what they had in stock.
In the end, it boiled down to chocolate, coffee or bananas, so we skipped the coffee and went for strawberries, bananas and maltesers.

Sounds yummy, will have to keep this for my youngest as they are doing a project on fair trade this month.
It was nice and easy so a good one to keep in reserve and it looked IMPRESSIVE on the table. Photos don’t do it justice. I think it would be even better put in the freezer for half an hour to an almost slushy consistency.
These look so fresh and delicious. Well done for impressive improvisation! @-}–
It was done quite quickly but littlest was pleased as punch with it, so was all good.
