These look yummy. I could probably eat a plateful with no problem!
They do look yummy! And it was halloween, what's not to like!! My only issue is, I'm not great with the texture. I remember mum making them with summer fruits.
Well, Im glad I didn't make a batch of these as no-one came for 'trick or treat' even though we put a scary mask outside and lit a candle in the window. I loved Halloween when my children were young.
We had a great time dressing up and collecting treats from neighbours, it was a fun thing to do, but it seems parents don't feel the same way anymore.
Thanks, yes I have also noticed a change in behaviour. The world is changed, what you grew up with isn't what we have now. It's quite sad when you think about it. Those days seemed easier in some respects.
The simple things were really simple. It's not the world that is complicated, it's the human species that makes it complicated.
