Sweet chocolate fudge (almost brownie-like) cookies, coated in icing sugar to give a dramatic cracked, crinkled appearance
This recipe came to me from my Mum who in turn got it from my sister. You can find the original over at the BBC goodfood website. These chocolate fudge cookies are very easy to make and particularly delicious if eaten warm from the oven.

Peppermint creams are a true classic. Many of us will have memories of making these sweets at school!
Does anyone else remember making peppermint creams at school? I think we also had to make little boxes to put them in.
You can see why it’s a great recipe for kids: only three ingredients (with green colouring and chocolate topping as optional extras) and no baking required.
Ingredients (these quantities will make as few as 20 and up to 40 peppermint creams depending on how big you make them)
A belated Happy New Year to you all!
My mum saved this recipe for tomato, basil and goat’s cheese loaf from the 2011 Good Food calendar. You could say it’s taken me a little while to get round to making it…
While it’s a loaf, the final texture is more like a scone than bread. It’s delicious and very easy to make. A great loaf to serve with soup and if you don’t like goat’s cheese you can use feta instead.
Ingredients (makes a loaf from which you can get about 10 decent-sized slices)
I got the original recipe from allrecipes but made a couple of tweaks to it. A very easy no-bake option for fans of Maltesers with a very sweet tooth.
Two-layer, heart-shaped biscuits with a jam centre: an easy Valentine’s bake
I used my easy biscuit recipe to make the dough for these two-layer, heart-shaped biscuits with a jam centre. In addition to the ingredients below, you’ll also need two heart-shaped biscuit/cookie cutters, one about twice the size of the other, as shown in the photo below.

Ingredients (for 8 snowman)
Ingredients (makes 20-30 truffles depending on how big you roll them)
Method
I very rarely make bread or anything involving yeast. Mainly because I haven’t the time for mucking about with proving. But when I found this recipe from GoodtoKnow for chocolate Chelsea buns, it sounded straightforward so I thought I’d give it a go.
Traditional Chelsea buns contain spices and sultanas. This is a sweeter twist on the classic recipe.
I didn’t have enough chocolate hazelnut spread, but did have some salted caramel sauce to use up. And so that’s why my version contains chocolate and caramel. You can just use the chocolate hazelnut spread if you prefer.
Ingredients (makes 12 chocolate caramel Chelsea buns)
