Chocolate Peppermint Creams

December 12, 2017 By Amy 2 Comments

I don’t know about you but alongside spending time with family, my favourite part of Christmas is the food! From something sweet for breakfast (lets be honest, it’s usually a selection box!) to turkey with all the trimming for dinner, as well as all the Roses, Celebrations & Heroes in between. But by the end of the day when bellies are full, there’s always room for one more thing; after dinner mints! And these Chocolate Peppermint Creams are the perfect home made festive treat that anyone can make.Read More

Banana Nutella Loaf

October 30, 2017 By Amy 6 Comments

Confession time… I’m not a big fan of Nutella. I know, shock-horror – a major chocoholic like myself, it doesn’t make sense. Don’t get me wrong, I will eat it when it’s part of recipe but I’m not a eating-it-from-the-jar kind of girl. That being said, I can appreciate the combo of Nutella and bananas, especially since my youngest, David, has recently taken a loving to “Butella”. Granny had mentioned this combo of Nutella in Banana Loaf and it seemed like the perfect treat for David.Read More

Mars Bar Slice

August 22, 2017 By Amy 13 Comments

I’ve two prominent memories from my childhood that involve Mars Bars. Random, I know. But being such a well-known and well-loved chocolate here in the UK, I doubt I’m the only one! And if you have never had a Mars Bar (is that even possible?!) you are missing out – but fear not, this Mars Bar Slice is the perfect introduction to a life-long chocolate bar romance.

Chocolate Digestives

Have you been watching Inside The Factory on BBC? It’s right up my little boys street, seeing as they want to know how everything in the world is made! The most recent one we watched was on Chocolate Digestive biscuits and of course, we had to try them for ourselves.

Chocolate Brioche Pudding with Raspberries

June 26, 2017 By Amy Leave a Comment

One of my favourite things about my childhood home was the rows of raspberry bushes that were just outside our back garden. I used to love running around in the summer and gathering handfuls of fresh raspberries and eating them before we could get home and actually make something with them. But if you have more patience than me, then this Chocolate Brioche Pudding with Raspberries from Jo’s Kitchen Larder is a great way to use up any stock you may have gathered.

Kinder Egg Brownies

April 11, 2017 By Amy 4 Comments

They’re a literal obsession in our house. Requested every day after nursery as a ‘special treat’, the number one choice of Easter Egg this year and even the most-viewed videos on Youtube. I just can’t seem to escape Kinder Eggs! So instead of resenting the amount of money I spend on these little surprise eggs and cursing the number of toys I stand on over the course of a day, I decided to make the most of their alluring taste and turn them into Kinder Egg Brownies!

Easter Rice Crispy Squares

When it comes to Easter Baking there’s few things that can beat a Hot Cross Bun but due to their ease to make, tray bakes are a good competitor. Last year we shared our Maltesers Slice recipe with a Easter twist and this year we’ve done it again with these Easter themed Rice Crispy Squares.

Triple Chocolate Brownies

January 31, 2017 By Amy 16 Comments

When it comes to the perfect brownies, I’m a bit of a snob. Only the richest, fudgiest, cavity-inducing ones will do. Lucky for you I decided to take on the mission of creating the very best brownies and after a little trial and error, I have done it! I give you my Tripe Chocolate Brownies.

Chocolate Fudge Brownies in a Jar

December 18, 2016 By Amy 6 Comments

What can I say about these Chocolate Fudge Brownies in a Jar other than they are a guaranteed crowd pleaser! And if you are looking for a last minute stocking filler or a fail-proof Secret Santa gift, then look no further. Best of all, the ingredients when combined make what Granny has called, “the best chocolate brownies she’s ever tasted.” Big praise indeed!

Super-Simple Crispy Christmas Puddings

December 16, 2016 By Amy 1 Comment

When it comes to baking at Christmas time it’s near impossible to not get the kids involved. The boys love nothing more than lending a hand, especially when it involves anything Christmas-y (our ‘beautifully’ decorated Christmas tree backs me up on this…). Where some recipes are best left to grown ups after bedtime, these super-simple Crispy Christmas Puddings from Samantha at Chocolate & Wine and I’ll Be Fine are the perfect bake to get little hands making!
