The pack contained six truffles, a super soft milk chocolate truffle with yummy gingerbread flavours of cinnamon, ginger…

Hearty Gingerbread Porridge

Posted on November 29, 2011November 25, 2011 by jenny

I’m a big fan of Dorset Cereals products and was really excited when I heard they were launching a seasonal porridge. It’s only available in Waitrose (or online) so it took a while to get my hands on some but it was worth the wait! Made with barley flakes as well as the usual jumbo…
