Burnt Chocolate

Sat here alone because DD has stormed off upstairs in a tantrum. The reason? Earlier DD and DS asked if they could make chocolate Cornflake cakes. There was a block of chocoloate in the cupboard and an abundance of Cornflakes and I was desperate for them to be used up. So of course I agreed.

A few minutes later I could sense the aroma of chocolate coming from the kitchen and DD came stomping in...They had burnt the chocolate and all the cakes are now ruined. Instead of putting the choc in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time to melt it...they had put it in for 3 minutes!!!! She took some money and went to the local supermarket to try and get some replacement cooking choc but it was closed.....

So now she has disappeared to her room saying how she can't do anything right and she is never going to make anything again etc......
