I know what you’re thinking… how can I possibly top last week’s Naked Black Forest Cake? The honest truth is – I don’t think I ever can. I’ve peaked, at age 30. Speaking of age 30, I’ve only got one day left before I turn 31. Tomorrow is my birthday, and to celebrate I’m bringing…

Raw Cookie Dough: 3 Festive Ways (Egg-Free)
Hi guys. I’m back! Yeah, I know, it’s been a while… just over four months in fact. I dropped my Ferrero Rocher Gelato recipe back at the end of August, and then ran for the hills. The truth is, this blog had become more of a chore than the fun hobby it started out as…
50 One Bowl Recipes to Save on Washing Up
If you’re new around here – Hi, I’m Charlotte, and I’m such a lazy baker. Add that to the fact that I don’t own a dishwasher, and the result is a constant pile of dishes next to the sink, that almost always includes many baking bowls. And we’ve got a tiny tiny kitchen. Bad times….
Marshmallow Rice Krispies Mickey Mouse Pops
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…
Valentine’s Hearts & Lips Bark
Happy Valentine’s Day to all you lovely people out there, whatever your relationship status. Because if there is one thing out there we can all get heart-eyes over, it’s chocolate, right? I’ve got the perfect last-minute recipe for you today, just in case you’re like me and somehow completely forgot it was Valentine’s Day today….
Cherry Amaretto Fudge
February’s pretty much here, and with it brings a whole host of pink things. Yep, it’s going to be all hearts and chocolate around here for the next couple of weeks. You may say that all this pink is just me trying to hide from the fact that I’m turning 30 in 5 days. You’d…
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!…
Chocolate Peanut Brittle
We might be off sunning ourselves at Centre Parcs, but that doesn’t mean that you don’t get a second recipe this week. If there’s one thing I’m dedicated to, it’s baking. I made this chocolate peanut brittle last Friday night, even if it was wayyyyyy too hot to be stuck in a tiny little kitchen…
White Chocolate Sunset Bark
I’m bringing you summer in a big way today – just look at this simply gorgeous white chocolate sunset bark! Is it a tropical sunset, or just some yummy white chocolate with food colouring and sprinkles? Who even knows. 💜💜💜❤️❤️❤️💛💛💛 Major love for this stuff. White chocolate is my new fave. Although this stuff is…
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…
