They are only 2pp's each :)

Butter buds is a powder which gives food a buttery flavour. Great for baked spuds, mash, fish etc.

Thank you, I've had a good day so far. I managed to find wire coat hangers for my chocolate wreaths. I make them every year but ran out & couldn't find anywhere that sold them. However, Wilkinsons came to my rescue!! I'm hoping to make one over the next few days. I'll post a photo to let you see.
They make fabulous presents and are SO cheap. One for up your sleeve if you're looking for ideas xx

I hate spicy food but that does look like something I'd give a good go, yum :p

Good ole wilkinsons eh? :p Avoiding there atm due to the 1/2 price pick n mix, lol ^^

Glad you enjoyed your morning, looking forward to the pic of the chocolate wreath - sounds intriguing!

Libby, it isn't spicy, honestly, it's more of a smokey bbq flavour.
You'd be able to do the wreath no problem, looks impressive but so easy. In fact, I've decided to start it tonight. 2 tins of sweets (I've got heroes & roses) £4 each in Asda at the moment a bow & cellophane. Sorted x
