Recipes with coconut and chocolate make a regular appearance around here. Like my chocolate brown sugar cookies or my dark chocolate coconut bark, and one of my favourite … [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’s the kind of treat that seems innocent enough at first… until you realise you’ve wandered back to the fridge three times for “just one more piece”. The combination of rich dark chocolate and sweet, nutty coconut makes it almost impossible to resist, and every batch disappears faster than I expect. It’s one of those recipes that barely has time to set before someone is sneaking a corner off the edge … [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...]
Chocolate Brown Sugar Cookies (with Coconut!)
If you’re a lover of all things chocolate and coconut then you need these Chocolate Brown Sugar Cookies in your life! Quick and easy to make they will have your sweet choc coconut cravings satisfied in no time! I didn’t know what to call these cookies when I first made them. I adapted the recipe from a caramel slice base that I made recently. The slice had a biscuit base and when I tasted it I thought “gee that would make a great cookie mix”! The original recipe didn’t have any chocolate in it … [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...]
Cake Mix Breakfast Muffins
These Cake Mix Breakfast Muffins are perfectly sweet and fruity with a delicious hint of coconut and golden syrup. So hard to stop at one! I'm not really into eating cereal for breakfast. I will eat toast if I haven’t got anything else but I much prefer a sweet treat such as a muffin or fruit scone. Made up ahead of time I can have some ready and also freeze some for later. I haven’t made any muffins or scones lately so my freezer supply ran out the other day and I was forced to eat toast! … [Read more...]
Nutty Oat Slice Recipe
This Nutty Oat Slice is soft and chewy and has all the flavours that you would find in an Anzac biscuit. The addition of walnuts however takes this slice to the next level! With only a week to go until Anzac Day I thought that I would share a recipe that contains the same flavours as an Anzac biscuit. However, I wanted to make a slice because I thought that it would be a bit quicker than making biscuits. With this slice you only have to press the mixture into a baking tray and cook. You … [Read more...]
Low Calorie Lemon Coconut Slice
This lemon coconut slice is heaven for any sweet tooth. It’s soft and sweet with a delicious lemon tang; no one will ever know that it is low calorie! I have said it before but I will say it again – I love sweet lemon recipes! I don’t know what it is about sweet snacks and desserts with lemon in them but I just can’t resist them. I have a bit of a sweet tooth anyway, but when you add in lemon I just can’t say no! Usually the thing that keeps me in check is the idea that these sweet lemony … [Read more...]
