Delicious fruity frozen treats!

Chocolate coated strawberries & Chocolate coated banana with a little peanut butter

To me there's nothing better than having frozen fruit on a hot summers day, of course Ice cream is great! But at least with these it's a little healthier. They're so simple and quick to make. 

You can use any fruits you like but I went with strawberries and banana's. It's strange because I don't like strawberries but I love them frozen and espcially covered in chocolate! 

I used two types of chocolate. For the strawberries I used Galaxy and for the banana's I used cooking chocolate. 

Chop up your banana's and place them on a sheet of greese proof paper. I didn't put peanut butter in all of mine because some people in my family don't like peanut butter, very weird! (not that I'm calling you weird if you don't like peanut butter... ) But if you do choose to use peanut butter just spread as much as you want on top of the banana. Melt your chocolate and literally just either dip your fruit in the heavinly chocolate bowl or use a spoon to pour the chocolate on top of the fruit. 

Then leave them to freeze over night, and while your sleeping you'll be dreaming of those tasty treats you'll be having the next day! 

A while back I came across Ingrid Nelson's video where she made those Banana treats and have been loving them ever since!

Hope you enjoy them! xxx

Scrumptious Shortbread Biscuits

I spent this bank holiday baking some short breads (Oh and going to the cinema so see Pitch Perfect 2 which I loved!) From ever since I started baking short breads I had  been using the same recipe from the same baking book but this time I thought I should go and try a different recipe.
So searching through the internet I found this one and wanted to share it with you because the end result was very very yummy!

For Ingredients you will need

• 115g Butter
• 55g caster Sugar 
• a pinch of Salt
• 40g Ground rice 
• 130g Plain flour 

Measure up the amount of butter you need put it into your bowl and beat until soft then add in your sugar and salt and mix that all in. 

Sift in the flour and the ground rice and mix into a smooth dough if it doesn't seem smooth to you it won't hurt adding in a bit more butter.

Grab yourself a cake baking tray (15cm) and line it with grease proof paper. The trick is to try and handle the mixture as little as possible. Make your mixture into a dough and place onto the grease proof paper flatten it out (gently) with your hands. 

I decided to add a few chocolate drops to mine. I also took a knife and roughly outlined where I would cut once it was ready just so it was easier to see where to cut. Once your done place it in the fridge for about 15 minutes or so and then after that put it in the oven for an hour, 

And there you have yourself some very tasty shortbread biscuits. 

Oh don't forget to add in that extra naughty bit of sugar and just sprinkle it on top of the biscuits, definitely makes a difference having sprinkled sugar on top!

With Easter just around the corner one of my favourite things about this time of year is baking tasty Easter treats! The typical Rice Crispy cakes go down a treat with every body and it's one of the quikest and simplest recipes out there. Having found this recipe on line I decided to try it out and it has become my favourite Rice cripsy recipes, not that there's a lot of different ways you can make them but there are a few different ones out there. 

You Will Need

 

25g Butter

Pour your Rice Krispies into a bowl and leave on the side ready for when you need it. Melt your butter, sugar and golden syrup until it starts to bubble then take the saucepan and pour the mixture into your rice krispies. 

Mix the mixture and the rice krispies together (at this point it smells amazing) 

Place some muffin cases into a cake tray and put in the rice crispy mix. 

Take your mini eggs and place them onto your cakes (or of course you can decorate it however you like)
