Toffee Rat Onna Stick - From Nanny Ogg'S Cookbook

1. 1

   You will also need: brown thread (for non-edible whiskers- optional) and 4 toffee apple sticks.

2. 2

   Break the Marzipan into 4 equal pieces and shape into rats.

3. 3

   Trim the bootlace to size and insert appropriately for tails.

4. 4

   Coat the bodies with a thin layer of toffee spread and roll them in the chocolate sprinkles to give the effect of fur.

5. 5

   Use a small blob of icing for the eyes.

6. 6

   If doing whiskers cut a few 5 cm lengths of thread and 'sew' them through the nose.

7. 7

   Gently push a stick up each-- er, rat, making sure it is secure.

8. 8

   It's all a bit dreadful, isn't it?.

9. 9

   Bust still much better than using a real rat.

10. 10

    In a heavy bottoms pan dissolve the sugar in the water and cook over a medium heat until it's golden brown (warning this gets very hot so be careful!).

11. 11

    When it's ready turn off the heat and quickly coat each rat in it- do NOT use a pastry brush as it will melt!

12. 12

    Place the rats in a cool dry place to set.
