Sweet dreams are made of these


With my own father out of the country, this Father's Day allowed us to lavish our affections solely on my husband's dad. How do I lavish affection? Mostly with hugs, but secondly with food. Taking inspiration (and direction) from the September edition of 'Delicious', these chocolate meringues were just devine. I had never made meringues before (I've since made these twice), but they were surprisingly easy. 
I think the killer here is the butterscotch sauce. While ultimately a delight to the taste buds, for me it was just a little too much (Aaron wholeheartedly disagreed with me on this one). 
I made these again last weekend, for my own parents home coming, and they were just as good with just the cream, strawberries and blueberries but with no sauce. They were also delightful with lunch the next day with ice cream, strawberries and a little strawberry syrup. A great all rounder, and I'm sure they will be a permanent feature in my repertoire.
