This recipe for Florentine squares is definitely a keeper! They are so quick and easy to whip up and you only need 5 ingredients! Before this year the last time I made Florentines was in high school! They were good to eat but I remember them being a bit fiddly to make. Back then we made traditional Florentines which are round. This meant that we had to get the right amount of mixture so that the Florentines were all the same size and shape. Something that I’m not always good at! This … [Read more...]

Easter Chocolate Chunk Cookie Bars
I have wanted to share this recipe for cookie bars for a while now but just haven’t got around to it. I made them a while ago without the Easter eggs and thought that they were wonderful. It’s just basically my easy chocolate chip cookie recipe turned into cookie bars! I was inspired to make the Easter version when I saw this Easter Egg Slice by Sammie at The Annoyed Thyroid.
