Love It or Hate It – Marmite and Cheese Straws With a Twist!, Another one of my daughter’s recipes – she always makes these for us when she is home Cheesy, crispy and flaky pastry straws with a lick of marmite – great for pre-dinner drinks, picnics, lunch boxes or snacks The Marmite company has a very clever advert that announces that you either LOVE Marmite or HATE it! I love it, that’s why it has been added to these delicious Cheese Straws however, if you HATE it – I have suggested alternatives My daughter only ever uses Marmite in her cheese straws – but then she is also a Marmite lover! Serve these in a tall glass for tasty appetiser nibbles – if you are using the other flavours, you can lable the glasses so Marmite haters can be pre-warned! Have fun! (For all my Aussie friends – PLEASE use Vegemite if you REALLY have to!!!), Tweaked the twist a little and now have massive marmitey cheesey gorgeousness!!!!, My local grocery store sells very good puff pastry ( President’s Choice , for all my fellow Canucks), that doesn’t even need rolling out, and a friend brought me Squeezy Marmite from England Makes this the easiest husband-pleasing recipe ever (DH is very proud any time he can convince a Canadian to love Marmite) Hardest work was grating the cheese Oh the horror! My local patisserie sells cheese straws for about $2 50 each, and they don’t even add Marmite! This recipe is good enough to sell!
