      I have been a bit lax with the posts in recent months I am sorry. I keep getting hassled by everybody to post more recipes, so I will I promise 🙂 Here is one I  made recently and it’s fab. Okay so it’s not the healthiest recipe but it will make you happy!

      I love salted caramel in fact I would say I am slightly obsessed and as a result I came up with these. Yummy buttery shortbread with a delicious slightly chewy caramel. Go on make them you know you want to!

      Makes 16 squares

      Ingredients

      Shortbread
      250g plain flour
      75g caster sugar
      175g butter, softened

      Caramel
      150g butter
      100g golden syrup
      1x 397g condensed milk
      ¾ tsp Maldon sea salt

      Topping
      250g plain or milk chocolate

      1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4 and lightly grease a 23cm  x 23cm brownie tin and line with non-stick baking paper, this will make it easier to lift out the finished square.

      2. Make the shortbread by adding the flour and sugar to a bowl, add the softened butter and rub the butter and flour mixture together until it resembles damp sand. Knead the mixture together and then press the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth it out making sure it is as level as possible. Prick the shortbread lightly with a fork all over and pop it into the oven for 20 minutes until is light brown. Remove and let it cool. Continue reading →

    • Rocky Road Popcorn Boulders

      I have been testing out a great popcorn maker at work this week, the type that uses hot air to pop the corn. As it is half term holidays for the kids next week and it looks like rain 😦  I thought these might go down well with the kids, or even for a birthday party. If you don’t have a machine to pop corn, you can pop the corn in a large saucepan with a drizzle of oil in the base of the pan.

      These are fab, you can pretty much use any of your favourite bits in them, these ones  have raisins, marshmallows and chocolate chips. But You could use chopped nuts or pieces of dried apricot instead or even small chucks of fudge. Get the kids involved rolling them up, leave the mixture to cool slightly first so they don’t burn their fingers!

      What you will need…

      1 measuring cup of popping corn (approx 100g)
      150g mini marshmallows
      50g chocolate chips
      50g raisins

      a little melted chocolate for drizzling (optional)
      a little oil

       

      How to make them….
