150g/5.5oz self raising flour

100g/4oz unsalted butter

100g/4oz golden caster sugar

At least 2 tubes Smarties or other coloured chocolate beans! (I used 2, 3 would have been better I think)

Grease and line 2 large baking sheets.

Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl.

Add the syrup and stir until well combined.

Sieve the flour and add to the mixture bit by bit stirring continuously until a dough starts to form.

Add the Smarties and knead with your hands.

Divide the mixture into about a dozen balls.

Place the dough balls well apart on the baking sheets.
