Mars Bar Sauce for Pancakes

With Pancake Day only a few days away I thought I would post a recipe for my favourite pancake sauce... Mars Bar Sauce ! Everybody loves this sauce and it's so simple you don't really need a recipe. All you need to do is melt 1 chopped up Mars Bar with 100ml double cream per person and you have an indulgent chocolaty sauce for your pancakes. So, for four people melt 4 Mars Bars with 400ml of Double Cream (I use a suacepan but you could probably do it in a microwave if you are careful).

Slow Cooker BBQ Pork

Wow this was good. 8 hours on low in the slow cooker and the pork was meltingly tender and just pulled apart with a fork. I made the BBQ sauce myself using vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar and some spices but you could always use a ready made jar of BBQ sauce if you preferred. I served this with  rice, peas and some sour cream and chilli sauce on the side. The kids ate the lot which is a good measure of success and it will be featuring again soon.
