Before I begin with chapter and verse I should say that this sweet is to go with your “slob” night, nay weekend sweet treat. It fits the bill because it's simple and easy and you can make it as fancy as you like or as messy as you like!

I would make one suggestion – the same as always – set your stall out before you begin. There are four elements – two to make and two to “short cut” if you wish. Actually you could short cut all four if you prefer - none are difficult.

A dollop of chocolate truffle (aka ganache)
3 meringue kisses crushed to a rubble, uneven
sizes even better
