Festive thrift: Thrifty Christmas treats
Recipes in which sugar is the main ingredient

Nutty brittle
We’ve all seen Hugh alliterating his way around the farmyard, drumming home the idea that when winter arrives we should all eat the heads of hearty rabbits, and nobbly old bread ends, dipped in sumptuous and soothing sacks of soup. It’s pretty annoying.
Anyway, we Gobbling folk don’t go in for all that flowery, poetic nonsense – we just wanted an excuse to review mince pies. So, we’re embarking on a series of yuletidish bits and bobs to keep you snug, warm, and most importantly, fat, through the cold and rainy (let’s not pretend they’re any more romantic than they really are) months.
So, starting as we mean to go on, we’re lobbing a few proper treats down your web cable. Christmas is probably the only time in the whole year when you can realistically get away with coating all your food in a thick, sticky layer of sugar, and in celebration of this fact, we at Gobbler have pulled together some of our favourite recipes, in which sugar plays the lead role. Get chewing.
