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!
Today’s post is all about one of my absolute, favourite things. Ever. Maybe it is one of yours too… it’s chocolate! This recipe for espresso caramel millionaire shortbread (try and say that without your mouth watering) comes from the latest addition to my cookbook collection – “Chocolate” by Katelyn Williams of The Kate Tin, and it’s a goodie!

The Christmas treats continue this week and today’s recipe is totally decadent and perfect for those times when only chocolate will do! This is not your standard everyday hot chocolate, (it is pretty much a dessert in its own right) but it is utterly luscious.

We are doubling down on nutty goodness this week with a brand new recipe that I put together recently – peanut butter and walnut fudge bites, yum! This is the kind of quick and easy treat that I love snacking on in the afternoon when I need an energy boost and feel like a little something sweet but guilt-free. They are so good!
