Okay today I am sharing one of the easiest recipes I have ever made. I can’t believe that there is such an easy way to make brownies! I have seen recipes for easy Nutella Brownies that are made using only 3 ingredients, but until now I have been quite sceptical as to whether they would really work! A few days ago I came across this recipe for Incredible 3-Ingredient Nutella Brownies over at The Comfort of Cooking and I decided to give them a go with just a slight modification. I have to say … [Read more...]
Frosted Choc Orange Cupcakes
I love orange cakes and I love chocolate cakes, so when I had some spare oranges lying around I decided I just had to make some of these choc orange cupcakes. Actually the recipe that I adapted was for a single square choc orange cake but I turned it into cupcakes instead! Cupcakes seem a bit more special than just a slice of cake. I suppose it is because I used to enjoy lots of yummy cupcakes when I was a kid. More times than I can remember I used to come home from school and mum would have … [Read more...]

Crunchy Choc Sultana Bites
I was trying to come up with a small snack that I could take to a family lunch recently and decided to make what I now call Crunchy Choc Sultana Bites. This was a recipe that I completely made up as I was going along. I was inspired by the taste of Cadbury Clusters; which are small clusters of raisins and cornflakes that are coated in chocolate. I have found these treats quite nice in the past and started wondering how I could create a similar taste. I knew that it couldn’t be too hard - all … [Read more...]

I really love trying out new recipes, especially when they are for chocolate chip cookies! Finding a recipe that sounds really yummy on paper and then preparing it and having it live up to my expectations is so satisfying.

I will often dismiss a recipe that looks delicious if it has a long list of ingredients and a detailed method to match. I will skip over it because I just don’t have the time, … [Read more...]
