These chocolate clusters are packed with yummy dried cranberries and crunchy almonds and smothered in rich dark chocolate. We’ve been buying a block of fruit and nut dark chocolate that contains cranberries and almonds for some time now. It’s very popular around here so there’s usually a block of it in our pantry most of the time! With Christmas fast approaching I decided to have a go at making some homemade chocolates. Naturally I thought I’d incorporate cranberries and almonds seeing we … [Read more...]

2 Ingredient Dark Chocolate Coconut Bark
This delicious 2 ingredient coconut bark is one of the most addictive snacks I have ever made! It is so hard not to keep going back for ‘just one more piece’ – it doesn’t last long in our house!

This 2 ingredient fudge is super quick and easy to make and you don’t need any sweetened condensed milk! Better still you can enjoy it in 3 flavours; caramel, chocolate, and choc caramel!

The only upside to weather that hot is that you get to have lots of cold drinks, ice cream and … [Read more...]
Easy Steamed Christmas Plum Pudding

Some will add custard too, but I’m not a big custard fan! ;) The Christmas puddings we had when I was kid were usually store bought ones but I loved them anyway. It was a taste that we only had on Christmas so cutting the plum pudding was very exciting! Over the years I have fallen out of … [Read more...]
