Brew Choc Cherry Fruit ‘Toast'
The most delicious fruit bread ever, you will love the crunchiness of this when toasted. Cue the butter. Oh and more honey!
Well not toast exactly….guessing you know how to toast bread without a Thermo Mixer of any description getting involved?? BUT, this recipe has officially been banished to the ‘Never Will Be Made Again’ list as I seriously ate almost all of it…it took a few days, but plow through it I did, one slice at a time, heroically even, never even trying to stop. I toasted, I buttered, I conquered….and now I must pay for it in so many ways! (Fat clothes…where are you???) My children have an objection to fruit in bread, and so it was that I was able to have something that lasted more than a few moments, but will be remembered forever on my hips!! I love the crunchy little resistance created by the toasted Brew Choc granules…I love the sweet surprise of a dried cherry, I love that it contains our beautiful freshly harvested honey and I must add, that should you get your hands on some raw honey, you will never look back….
I digress, recipe please??

Try not to eat it all whilst warm and fragrant….save some for fruit toast…and slather both with more butter and raw honey to taste. Ahhh-mazing!
