From the recipe book of the Fat45 horn section (itself a hotbed of culinary experimentation), I give you Chai Bricks- a confectionary designed by our trombone player to accompany a cuppa, emulating an Indian Chai, Spiced tea sort of experience.
mix about a litre (I use a jug to measure) of rolled oats in a bowl, add a desert spoon of cocoa powder, a shed load of chopped fresh ginger, grd black pepper to taste, mix in a tin of sweetened condensed milk and spread mixture out evenly in the base of a tray , place in fridge ........ take 400g of milk chocolate, add fresh/ fine ground cardamom (from about 20 green pods) and melt, when melted pour on top of oaty base and refridgerate, score chocolate well for sweet size before fully setting otherwise it cracks weirdly when you try to cut it. Happy confectioning......
