Hopyes Pudding

When I visit one dear friend of mine whose house just in the corner of mine, I saw a huge bundle of Primarasa recipes. She said it was her friends' recipes collection which she has borrowed for quite long and said that the recipes are great. Wow....it's really tickling my "recipes-sense" and I started to browse that sweet-bundle-of-recipes.
I can tell you, the recipes collection are really mouth-watering. It also shows step by step pictures that really a big help especially when I tried out the Cheese Stick pastry... yup, I did it gals...Successfully!!

Back to Hopyes pudding, Hopyes is a combo flavour of caramel and coffee like old fashioned candy which calls Hopyes too ;p.
