Whenever I think of birthday parties from my childhood, I think of games like pass the parcel, pin the tail on the donkey, hide and seek and egg and spoon races. When it comes to party food, my mind immediately conjures up images of Chocolate Crackles sprinkled with hundreds and thousands, Smiley Face Lolly Biscuits, Fairy Bread, Sausage Rolls and of course – Honey Joys.
I honestly don’t think I’ve ever eaten a Honey Joy when I wasn’t at a birthday party. Honey Joys are just one of those treats that seem to only be associated with parties. I’d also never made them before, but when I spied a recipe for them in my Mum’s old recipe book, I quickly decided we just had to have some for our Baby Boy’s first birthday party.
They honestly took no time at all to make, maybe 15 minutes at the most. They turned out just as I had remembered them, deliciously sweet and crunchy. While they are certainly a ‘treat’ item, I know they will be a regular on our birthday party menu.
