I realize that I am probably one of the few people who actually was looking forward to be summoned for jury duty… and enjoyed the experience when it happened.

A few days before Ayaz’s birthday, I came across an image of a cake that was decorated with smarties [the English version of M&Ms?] and chocolate covered biscuits.

From start to finish, it probably took me 30-35 minutes to make these, including the baking time! Here’s what you need to make them: 3/4 cup of [milk] chocolate chips 1/2 cup …
