Chocolate & Cranberry Cookies!


These cookies were fabulous and an absolute hit!

They are baked out of flour, brown sugar, butter, oats, dried cranberries, egg, chocolate chips, vanilla essence and a secret ingredient, condensed milk!

I then finished them off with a drizzle of melted dark chocolate.

Yummy!

Animal gummy jellies!

The Husband bought these for me as a treat and a surprise when he was at the airport waiting for his flight home.

They are really adorable and beautifully decorated in six animal forms.

Can you guess what they are?

Orange Chocolate Marble Cakes!


I wanted to bake something chocolatey and simple last weekend. This orange chocolate marble cake recipe fits the bill as it was really quick.

The batter is mixed out of self raising flour, sugar, eggs and butter. It is then divided into two batches - one has orange zest and orange juice mixed into it and the other has cocoa powder and milk mixed into it.

This was originally meant to be a loaf recipe but I decided to make little cakes instead as they are easier to eat. To make up one cake takes about two tablespoons of orange batter and chocolate batter each which are then gently swirled.

Melted orange chocolate is then spread onto the cooled baked cake and topped with a cherry.

It took two days to finish 35 cakes in the Office!
