Christmas Tree Buns

I had this idea a few nights ago, you know when you can’t get back to sleep and keep thinking about food, or is that just me……….. These are basically a batch of Chelsea buns made all Christmasy. I think they’d make a great centre piece for a gathering or party. Believe me they won’t … Continue reading »

Salted Peanut Honeycomb

I made honeycomb for the first time not too long ago, it was divine to eat and I love the chemical lava style reaction you get when you make it!   This combines sweet & salty which I think works so well. They can make a lovely present if bagged up and labelled. Lasts about … Continue reading »

Trufflenutters

I had a jar of cashew nut butter in my cupboard for ages, none of us are very keen on peanut butter and I kept meaning to use it for something and at last got round to making these little delights as I experimented with it. I threw in some Nutella, something I usually have … Continue reading »

Biscuit Necklaces (perfect for rainy days)

It was Frey’s birthday this week and she wanted a sleepover with a few of her closest friends. I thought she may like a few things to keep them amused (and stop them texting for a few brief moments!) So I asked if she thought they would enjoy decorating some small biscuits to make a … Continue reading »

Baileys Truffles

I was recently given a truffle recipe by the lovely lady running a marzipan shaping day I attended. She had made a batch for us to eat and gave out the recipe. The thing that I liked (apart from the taste of course) was that they do not contain fresh cream, when they have cream … Continue reading »

Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Jar

Here’s a chocolate version of the cookie jar I posted recently. They make fab gifts & are also great to have on ‘stand by’ in the cupboard. I like to use the Bonne Maman jars, not only is it a great way to recycle but they hold a good amount of ingredients, so work well. … Continue reading »

Ginger Spice Cupcakes

We all love the delicious wintery smell & taste of ginger in our house. So I thought I’d have a bash at making a light gingery cupcake. So easy to make and they taste scrummy. I used vanilla buttercream but for a double whammy you could add some ground ginger or decorate with stem ginger. … Continue reading »

Spicy Wine Soaked Fruit Cake

Although we will eat it, no-one at my house is that keen on the heavy rich fruit cake you have at Christmas time. We’ll all happily tuck into a lighter version, so I thought I’d add a bit of a wintery feel by using a mulled wine soak to the fruit. It’s not as moist … Continue reading »

Cinnamon, Oat & Raisin Cookie Jar

I love to give homemade gifts for birthdays & Christmas. Something that you put some thought & effort into that you hope will be well received. I made some layered cookie ingredients jars a few years back & they were really popular.  So I thought I’d make them again this year. Also really handy to … Continue reading »
