Ready to Rum Ball
Lap of Gold
Gráinne’s pirate lap is often full of pirate gold…
Ready to Rum Ball
…but today she is helping me with a seasonal baking project.
Grating
I was glad of the help, especially as grating chocolate is a lot of work.
Blending
Gráinne stirs vigorously, while feeling grateful that her block of olive wood was made into a doll rather than a spoon.
El Dorado
The Hitty’s favourite photographer made a special trip to the store for the critical ingredient… (btw Gráinne wonders why paintings of ships often have their pennants flying against the wind?)
Teaspoons
Although very willing to help with human-sized confections, Gráinne did make a request for a few smaller more Hitty-sized treats…

Quimper Hittys 
Looks like you all had a rum tum tummy good time!
m-m-m-m the Pirate’s favourite confection!
Way to go, Grainne! Don’t let the humans have all the enjoyment. Hard-working Hittys deserve a treat now and then too!
I am happy the Hittys seem to be in a baking mood these days, and they help out so they do deserve a treat!
Yo Ho Ho…Grainne!! Hard work pays off with sweet rewards.. By the way I met your good friend..Back From The Dead Red…..it was my honor to make her acquaintance. Always a pleasure to see you Grainne. (I laughed about those banners flapping away….the wrong way!)
Back from the Dead Red is a very good friend, and in fact is Gráinne’s elder block sister! Isn’t she amazing!
Great work Grainne. Thanks for the recipe
Easy and delicious!
