Come summer when it’s really too hot to be baking I’ll still be in the kitchen whipping up some yummy plum treats. My favourites are these Plum Muffins, this wonderful Plum … [Read more...]

Whether you’re a Nutella lover, peanut butter devotee, or just a fan of cookies you are sure to love these Nutella Peanut Butter Chip Cookies!

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. I loved the idea of M&M speckled eggs pushed into the top so I borrowed that idea for these cookie … [Read more...]
