9PM Friday Grocery Haul Full Video I posted my la 9PM Friday Grocery Haul Full Video

I posted my last one last Friday at 9 and a good friend mentioned that it’s probably a good time to upload a video as those who are subscribed over on YouTube would be sitting down to relax at that time so … that is what I’ll do 🥰

I shopped my pantry this week, dug out the freezer and made a meal plan of some newly bought fresh stuff and then some of my clear out stuff before the move to the UK. 

We are this week, a 2 person household mainly, and I will be showing you a meal plan on a budget, for 2 adults eaters with different dietary needs. 

This weeks spend surprised me a little. I’ll fill you in tomorrow night at 9PM

Caramel Squares

This is my version of caramel squares. I needed to use up some biscuits so this is what I did! As per usual I used all Aldi ingredients.

I watched this video on one of my favourite channels and made a version of caramel square based on this recipe. This is a fantastic channel that I hope you will go over and enjoy.  This is where you’ll find great meal planning ideas and recipes.

 

We are doing a Frugal Food February over on Instagram to use up all of those abandoned tins of food and items lurking at the bottom of the freezers. Join us @mrs.hawkins.house

Biscuit Base Or Shortbread?

The choice is yours. What is your favourite when you buy caramel squares? Watch the video above from one of my favourite Youtube channels to see how to make the shortbread base. I have used leftover biscuits to make mine. The base was a little crumbly so perhaps you could add more butter than I did. We enjoyed this as it was however.

375g biscuits crushed

240g melted butter

Mix together ( I used a food processor)

Press into a lined square tin

Chill for an hour or more till nice and firm.

Caramel Topping For Caramel Squares

I made the caramel similarly to the video above with one adjustment. I used dark brown sugar whereas the recipe used golden sugar.

2 tablespoons Golden Syrup ( I used cup measures for accuracy)

Condensed milk 400g tin

Dark brown sugar 100g

Butter 100g

Put all into a saucepan and mix well. Bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and stir all the time. Do not leave this mixture for a moment. Stir for about 7 minutes.

Pour onto the firm biscuit base immediately. Chill in the fridge for an hour or until firm.

This mixture will be red hot so be extremely careful with it!!

Chocolate Topping

Melt 200g of chocolate and cover the firm caramel after it has set. Allow the chocolate to set in the fridge for an hour or until firm.

Slice into squares and enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed this post on how to make Caramel squares!
