A family baking blog. Classic Scottish and UK recipes for the whole family.
When it comes to Easter Baking there’s few things that can beat a Hot Cross Bun but in 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.
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.

Fudge Slice is especially easy and as equally delicious.
There’s two things I think of when I think of my Granny (The Boys Great Granny): endless cups of tea & Coconut Ice. And not the pink & white condensed milk version that seems to come up whenever you search for a recipe.
