The easy recipe below will show you how to bake the meringue and create these irresistible and elegant sweet treats at home.

Ever since I posted my no-bake Halloween biscuit truffles a few weeks ago I’ve been dying to try a Christmas version. I finally got around to it and they came out so well. I replaced some of the chocolate biscuits with ginger biscuits, added some orange zest for more of a festive flavour and dipped the truffles in dark chocolate which I decorated with mini fondant holly leaves, sprinkles and glitter.
BOO! It’s Halloween tomorrow, and kiddies all around are looking forward to the big day! My kids are putting the finishing touches on their costumes and planning their walking route around the neighbourhood, it really is lovely to see them so excited. This latest recipe is a Halloween treat that kids, both young and old, can get behind!
The finish line is in sight and holidays are nearly here! Some of you may already be enjoying your year end break, yippee! I thought I’d finish up the year with a simple festive treat that I’m sure you’ll love – especially if you enjoy a peanut butter and chocolate combo as much as me. These cute little stars could be served as an after dinner treat or given as an edible Christmas gift, if you can bear to part with them.
These clouds of sweet deliciousness have a crisp shell but will melt in your mouth. For a change I tried making these meringues with muscovado sugar instead of castor sugar as I usually do. I love using muscovado sugar in my baking because of the wonderful caramel flavour it adds and so I was keen to see how it would work in a batch of meringues – they turned out great!
These chocolate squares of deliciousness are such a treat and I’ve been looking forward to sharing this recipe with you. The squares are filled with sweet coconut and a layer of creamy date caramel, so good!
Let’s make something Christmassy shall we? Marzipan is very traditional at this time of the year, but did you know how easy it is to make your own marzipan at home? Not to mention the fact that homemade marzipan tastes amazing!
Chickpea fudge has been around for a little while and after wanting to try it out for some time I finally got around to putting together this recipe. You might be thinking that the words “chickpea” and “fudge” don’t seem like they belong together, but I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious this fudge is and I have made it a few times already. My family, especially the kids, really love it too!
