Quite possibly but hadn't really thought about it... Probably not fast.

the only thing that might hinder that is space on the bus Ian..but being localish could you get a lift to the start? Even if you couldnt but could drive yourself to the start, I could run you back to the start on my way home, but I am doing the marathon so you may have to wait a bit :)

I am also making flapjack :)..made huge batches for sandstone trail this weekend, freezing a heap to bring to WP :)

Just had a recipe for toblerone cookies (gluten free) so will try them today as they sound like great carb loading fodder :-)

Yes Clairster - it is as follows:

250g plain GF flour
150g toblerone (or any choc choc really)
75g butter
75g caster sugar (or brown sugar)
1 medium egg - beaten
1 tbsp cocoa
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 tbsp milk

Oven 180/gas mark 4
Chop chocolate into little bits (eat at least 2 triangles yourself)
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
gradually beat in the egg and flour (mixed with the cocoa)
Dissolve the bicarb in the milk and add to the creamed mixture
Pull mixture together with hands (quite sticky) and roll into a long sausage shape
Cut into 16 equalish bits
Roll into balls and squish into cookie rounds
Place onto greased paper on baking tray
Bake for about 12 - 15 minutes until just firm to touch
Cool on tray before storing in airtight container

Better the next day I felt - they don't freeze

Enjoy
