After our epic trip to Walt Disney World a couple of weeks ago, I couldn’t help getting in the kitchen and putting the Mickey Mouse sandwich cutter I purchased at the unbelievably massive World of Disney store to good use! Because who doesn’t love Rice Krispies treats – and I bet you’ve never seen Rice…

Raspberry White Chocolate Sugar Cookies
Valentine’s Day is almost upon us, and if you’ve completely forgotten (or have just got back from an amazing holiday in Florida and forgot all about it) then have I got the cookies for you! Side note: these cookies also work for non-romantic occasions, such as birthdays, weddings, Fridays… Basically, these raspberry white chocolate sugar…
Candy Cane Chocolate Bark
[AdSense-B] It seems like every baking blog out there has their own recipe for candy cane chocolate bark. It’s pretty much a Christmas staple, and that’s because it: a) is easy to make b) is pretty as hell c) tastes gorgeous and d) makes a really great Christmas gift for anyone who likes chocolate (and…
Mulled Wine Chocolate Truffles
[AdSense-B] Update: I’ve had a bit of feedback from readers who can’t get their truffles to set. I’ve therefore amended the method for the recipe so that the mulled wine is reduced down before adding it to the ganache. I did get great results using the original method, but obviously there is something not quite…
Rocky Road Chocolate Bark (and How to Temper)
Guess what? In exactly three months’ time, it will be Christmas day! I’ve already started my shopping – I’ve got a whole advent calendar to put together for Katie after all – and I’m about ready to start on my Christmas baking. Mulled wine and a Terry’s chocolate orange in the Sainsbury’s order this weekend!…
Clementine & Prosecco Jam
The inspiration for today’s recipe came from some bubble bath. I bet that’s not a phrase that’s often bandied about on baking blogs, but it’s 100% true. I loved the smell of my Clementine and Prosecco bath soak so much that I knew I needed to make some jam based on it. And so my…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Fudge
Oh candy, my old friend. It’s been too long. The last time we had fudge around here was last Easter, so I wanted to come back with my fudge-game strong. And this Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Fudge is about as good as fudge gets, in my opinion. How many times can I use the word…
Limoncello Truffles
Today I’m bringing you the recipe for the limoncello truffles I sent my Mum this weekend – or Mom as I call her…she loves it really 🙂 In case you hadn’t noticed, I quite like making truffles. They are easy to throw together if you follow a few simple rules, and the flavour combinations are…
White Chocolate Creme Egg Fudge
We are properly into March now, and that means I am going to be stepping up the Easter treats for the next few weeks. Of course that also means I’ve got plenty more chocolate coming your way, as well as the recipes for the Mother’s Day treats I sent my Mum. Can’t spill the beans…
Coconut Ice
Morning all. This is my ‘Valentine’s Day’ recipe – the ever-so unromantic Coconut Ice. I decided to make something pink, because pink = love, right? But then I went and coloured them peach. Top marks for me. I’m trying to rebuild my relationship with the peach food colouring I bought to make the peach disaster…
Champagne Truffles
I’t’s my birthday in two days! So bring on the champagne truffles 🙂 Champagne truffles are my number one favourite fancy chocolate. One day Katie and I will have to move out and live in a cardboard box due to my Hotel Chocolat champagne truffle addiction. And it’s pretty cold in the UK. To save…
Ferrero Rocher Truffles
I’ve almost finished my Christmas stash of Ferrero Rocher chocolates 🙁 Oh well, only one thing to do – make some of these delicious Ferrero Rocher truffles to keep me going all the way through January. Those gold Nutella-filled chocolates have always been my favourite. And every Christmas I will attempt to eat my…
Fortune Cookies
These Fortune Cookies are loads of fun, and they actually taste amazing too. We have a New Year’s Eve tradition in our house – board game night. There is even a trophy (it looks very similar to this one from Friends – troll doll and everything). Katie has been victorious for the past two years, but…
