The Chocolate Party took place on the 30th of May, so a little more than a week ago. It was a very nice gathering, and the weather was extremely nice! I also got a lot of left-overs.. The White Chocolate Fondue I finished within a week.. It was just so tempting standing in front of me inside the fridge. The White Chocolate Nemesis failed cake I had eaten a lot of on the Friday before the party, and I really thought that no one would like it, cause it was kinda icky. BUT Mizuki liked it! :D Hmmm.. Well I finished that “soup” on the Pentecost Monday :) Moreover, I had quite a bit of the Brownie Cheese Cake left.. I ate a lot of whilst watching Hitch (On the Sunday) The rest I cut into pieces and froze, then I can just take one piece out :)
The Choclote Fondue (the vegan one) me and Hanne Mari finished on Saturday before we had to bike down to the cinema –> Star Trek. The only chocolate-related products I haven’t told the story of now, are all the small stuff. Like the Chocolate Pieces (White Chocolate, White Chocolate with hazels, Dark Chocolate with almonds and cherry) the Bailey’s Truffles, The Chocolate circles (?), the Snickers Bomb, The Freia Påske Eggs, and some Ferrero Rocher Charmini had brought. Everything except for the Ferrero Rocher, I brought to school last week.. We didn’t finish all the Chocolate Circles and pieces. Tomorrow I’ll bring the Ferrero Rocher.
Here is a picture taken from Kat’s facebook showing the table with most of the delicious chocolate products, she added a lot more nice pictures, so I would definitely recommend to visit her page if you have the opportunity :)
In addition to what I had made, Anders made a flourless cake, May a cookie-chocolate-tart and Jakob an extensive chocolate cake.It presumably contained 17 000 kcal! These cakes the people (luckily!) brought back home!
One of the favourites of the night of Chocolate, was the Snickers Bomb/Snickers cake, and I got many requests for the recipe. First I would like to thank my mum for providing the recipe. She’s a great cook, and I can’t wait till I go home for the Summer to help her in cooking and learn, because I haven’t really been interested before.
The following recipe contains bad English! I found it really hard to translate a Norwegian recipe. If you have any corrections, please don’t hesitate to tell me, so that I can improve it for other potential readers, though I doubt there are many people reading this blog :p
The recipe is ridiculously easy, so try to make these tasty goodies:)

SNICKERS BOMB
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 dl light syrup. (= 350 g)
- 2 1/2 dl sugar
- 1 dl coconut flakes (kokosmasse)
- 1 jar of peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanillapowder
- Cornflakes (as much as possible)
Procedure:
- Heat syrup, sugar and peanut butter gently
- Mix the rest in.
- Pour over a pan and press it to fit. (Hell masse over i ei 1/2 skuffe og trykk ut)
Topping:
- 2 bars “kokesjokolade” ( = 200 g chocolate)
- 2 table spoons “Delfiafett” (coco nut fat) [the top one in this photo]
Heat gently (preferrably in a bowl in water, “vannbad”) and pour over cake.
Leave it in the refriegrator until hard, or a couple of hours. Ready to be cut into pieces! I experienced that it would be best to take it out and leave it for a while before cutting, so that the chocolate topping didn’t break.

Today I went for a jog up around Estenstadmarka. I want to jog every day now! But I have to be careful to not overexert my knees :( Lately I’ve been going to Pirbadet (oftently misunderstood as Papirbadet, because I say: “Ej ska på Pirbadet” which sounds like: “Ej ska papirbadet”. DIGRESSION) with Irina and we’ve been very good swimmers. Approx. 1 hour of hardcore-swimming every time (twice for me).
My quiche is just done now, so I am going to taste it and leave it for tomorrow. Whilst tasting I’ll reply on Ingrid’s e-mail and then go to bed.
