Yes, I know. I blogged about mini Mississippi mud pies just a few days ago. But this is a regular-sized pie and is peppermint (aka Christmas) inspired. I realise that Christmas is now officially over (unfortunately). But that doesn’t mean that we have to deprive ourselves of Christmas-based desserts straight away. I mean, we all…

Cranberry & White Chocolate Blondies
I’ve given you brownies in multiple forms. Now you get to have a Christmas-inspired blondie. What is a blondie, you ask? A blondie is simply a brownie without cocoa powder. Some recipes use white chocolate in the batter, others do not. I have omitted white chocolate from the batter because it is added to the…
Mini Mississippi Mud Pies
I have no idea why, but America’s love of pies has always confused and amazed me. I feel like everything gets turned into a pie. I mean, I guess I could say the same thing about the UK and crumbles or puddings, but I don’t have the same weird obsession with them. They don’t appeal…
Slow Cooker Almond & Pretzel Chocolate Mounds
Yes, you’re right. That title is quite a mouthful. But so are these bites of deliciousness. Sweet, salty and crunchy. Yum. Okay, so I have to admit, the raw almonds do leave almond bits in your mouth after you’ve eaten these chocolate mounds, but I love raw almonds. If you wanted to avoid this, you…
Peppermint Chocolate Fudge
You know it’s Christmas when peppermint-flavoured EVERYTHING comes out. And that’s the same for me. Although, at least so far I’ve given you cranberry and orange, ginger and molasses, truffles, and other gift ideas. But these. These are pure indulgence, that you really do not need much of at one time. Bite-sized morsels of pleasure/sin,…
Homemade Hot Chocolate
I’ve always been one to buy hot chocolate mixes, because I’m always the person that buys different flavours of Options hot chocolate and Cadbury’s High Lights. Buying the lower calorie versions meant that I am able to have hot chocolate as a dessert when I’m trying to reduce my sugar intake, or simply be a…
Homemade Truffles
I hope you didn’t think that my Christmas gift ideas had run their course. I’ve got so many recipes and ideas up my sleeves. Just you wait. And today, you get another one! I’m all about the Christmas spirit in theory, but my panicked side is slowly starting to show, given that I still have…
Peppermint Brownie Cups
I struggled to come up with a title for these, because they’re so much more than just peppermint brownies, and they’re not just cups either. I was inspired while browsing the internet the other day, and read a blog post about these – but then never bookmarked or saved the recipe, so I had to…
Chocolate Salami
Christmas is just around the corner, which means an indulgent months of cocktail parties, pre-Christmas catch ups over mulled wine, Christmas carols with mince pies, and Christmas lunches and dinners with friends and family that you won’t see on Christmas Day. I love Christmas, I really do. My Christmas starts on the 2nd of December…
M&M Cookies
It’s always good to have an arsenal of recipes up your sleeve for days when you just need to do some baking (or cooking), because there’s a typhoon outside, or the weather is horrible, or you just need a stress release. Cookies are super quick to make, the batter takes minutes, and then they only…
Gluten Free Chocolate Birthday Cake
Today is my birthday. I didn’t plan anything for it, other than to do my usual Tuesday evening activity of aerobics and dinner with everyone afterwards. I did a lot of celebrating last year, so this year I was happy to keep it low key. The only thing I wanted was to make a birthday…
