How to make your children love you more than life itself.

It’s easier than it sounds, just five simple steps and here’s a heads up: caramel. But wait, there’s more! You can also simultaneously ease your guilt for not doing more home-baking for your family. I’ve tried it before, believe me it really works.

Step 1. now this one requires the most effort, so get it out of the way first – you need to go the supermarket and purchase ready made pastry cases (small) and a tin of top & fill caramel.

Step 2. open tin of caramel. Warning- you will at this stage be extremely tempted to lick the lid, careful, it’s sharp!

Step 3. with some kind of kitchen utensil, fill each pastry case with caramel.

Step 4. decorate – you can use just about anything you have laying around, given that it’s edible. I try to stick with tasty ones – nuts, ginger, sliced banana etc. (this is where it turns to healthy:)

Step 5. feed to your children after school (directly following shouty days works best) and watch their smidgy little eyes light up with yumminess and adoration!!!

Believe me, children will go nuts about your cleverness at inventing caramel and will love you for all eternity. Certain children have even been known to spontaneously hug, praise and even do chores for their wonderous mothers in the hope of  earning future serves of gooey caramelly goodness.
