Today I am sharing by far the easiest chocolate chip scone recipe that you will ever find. And if you’re after soft and fluffy chocolate chip scones this recipe is definitely the best one going around too! I have to admit I haven’t had too many chocolate chip scones in my lifetime. Up till now I have been more of a fruit scone person, maybe raisins, sultanas or mixed dried fruit. I prefer scones with add in’s because it eliminates the need for extra toppings. I often whip up a batch of these … [Read more...]
Yum Yum Balls (also called Kids Rum Balls!)
These Yum Yum Balls take me back to my primary school days! They remind me of kid’s parties and sleepovers because that’s when I remember eating them. Mum never made these at home so they were such a treat when going to friends’ houses! A few years back I was reminded of these yummy treats and went looking for the recipe without any luck. Turns out it was because I was looking for rum ball recipes instead of the yum yum balls recipe. I thought that was what they were called when I was a … [Read more...]

Super Easy Walnut Raisin Energy Balls
I’ve wanted to have a go at making energy balls for a while now. They’re everywhere on Pinterest and they look delicious. What has put me off until now is that most recipes for energy balls contain dates. I’m not a big fan of dates so I have had the idea in the back of my head to use raisins instead! I didn’t actually use a recipe! Instead I just checked out energy balls in general on Pinterest and saw the types of ingredients that others were using. I decided to add some walnuts to my energy … [Read more...]
Easy Chocolate Mint Brownies Using a Brownie Mix
These Chocolate Mint Brownies are super easy to make, the hardest part is waiting for them to cool off so you can eat them! Recently I was checking out what I had my organized deep pantry when I had an idea. In my pantry I had found a boxed brownie mix as well as a couple of packets of after dinner mints. The mints are the ones that are very thin squares of chocolate filled with a mint fondant. I started wondering if I could make chocolate mint brownies by putting the two together! My … [Read more...]

Crunchy Nut Honey Joys with M&M’s!
It’s a while since I have eaten honey joys; they used to be one of my favourite snacks as a kid! We didn’t have them all the time, but at birthday’s and school fetes they always made an appearance. Honey joys are a delicious sweet, crunchy treat and they are also quick and easy to make. Regular honey joys are made with plain Cornflakes but I decided to use Crunchy Nut Cornflakes just to give them a subtle twist. Traditionally honey joys don’t have any chocolate in them either. But I … [Read more...]
