When considering a venue to host a conference, many options are available, but it is those that offer something out of the ordinary that leave a lasting memory and make for a more pleasurable experience.

It is not always an easy task finding the right place to host a conference as there may be various preferences across the board, but Granny Mouse Country House & Spa has ensured that they offer features across the board to cater for most partialities.

With an option of conference facilities that seat from 30 to 120 persons, Granny Mouse Country House and Spa can make for an ideal smaller, medium or larger business meeting, teambuilding opportunity, product launch or corporate conference.

Becoming very popular is an executive breakaway that leans away from the traditional classroom-type conference and more towards a highly interactive setup where executives leave feeling happier and focused on the tasks set ahead.

Granny Mouse have tailored packages for specific requests from the option of a Beer, Whiskey or Wine tasting to be arranged prior to dinner after a conference has ended. There is also a spa on site that offers fabulous treatments for small groups which can be specifically designed to fit into your corporate package or a Yoga session at the start and end of each day which can also be included into your conference package, or how about a teambuilding experience? Granny Mouse offers a number of exciting activities that allow for staff to interact. If we don’t offer what you are looking for, we accept all kinds of suggestions and try our best to make it happen!

With Easter on our doorstep, this is the perfect opportunity for parents and their children to spend time together. Apart from taking a trip away or going to the beach, there are also activities that can be done at home too. Baking is one such activity that is sure to be fun for all, because the best part about baking, is tasting the end product.

Executive Chef Shaun Dampies from Granny Mouse Country House & Spa is a family man who loves spending time in the kitchen making all kinds of sweet things to celebrate one of his favourite holidays.

“I find that Rice Krispy treats always go down well with the kids during Easter as they are tasty, colourful and fun,” he says.

For the ingredients you will need:

• 6 Cups of Rice Krispies
• 4 Cups of Marshmallows
• 3 Tablespoons of butter
• Chocolate
• Hundreds and thousands
• Chocolate vermicelli
• Smarties
• Astros
• A baking pan
• Sauce pan
• Spatula or wooden spoon
• Spray and cook
• Grease-proof paper

Once all the ingredients are ready, here’s how to make these tasty treats:

First, prepare the baking pan. You can either spray the pan with cooking spray or use grease-proof paper to cover the baking pan – The benefit of using grease-proof paper is that you can easily lift your treats out of the tray and cut them with a pizza cutter.

Then, melt the butter or margarine in the large sauce pan using a low heat setting.

Next, add the marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir in until the marshmallows melt completely and then remove from the heat.

The next step is to pour in the Rice Krispies. Be sure to coat the Rice Krispies well by pouring the melted butter and marshmallow mix over them gently.

Pour the resulting mix out onto the prepared baking pan.

You can then mix in your toppings of choice (Astros, Smarties etc)

Then, press the mixture across the baking pan evenly. Do this either by pushing on the mixture with your hands through wax paper that you’ve laid over the top, or press down using a heavily buttered or oiled spatula.

Then once the mixture is evenly spread, leave it to cool.

“In my experience, Rice Krispies treats are always best and at their freshest on the day they’re made, so invite over the family and their kids or put them in a sandwich bag and drop off with family on the day!” Dampies adds.
