Chocolate Fudge Truffles With A Hint Of Whisky

Aug 6, 2021Jul 7, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 8 Comments

These chocolate fudge truffles are flavoured with whisky. This is our favourite after work drink but when I bought a bottle that Dave did not like I had to find an alternative use for it. Adding it to chocolate seemed like a great idea. And it was! If you are not a whisky fan, substitute … Continue reading Chocolate Fudge Truffles With A Hint Of Whisky

Apr 30, 2021Mar 26, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 10 Comments

I am in desperate need of corduroy pants for our winter trip to Croatia. I am hoping against all hope that we get there this year. But just in case we don't, I am creating Croatian inspired recipes. These choc nut bars are pastries typical to the country. Head straight on to the Recipe For … Continue reading Choc Nut Bars | Croatian Biscuits

Fizzy Sherbet

Jun 19, 2020May 10, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 13 Comments

I think lockdown is making everyone a little bit more tense that usual and our tempers a bit frayed. I know this was the case for me when I was at the Mall. To make me smile when I got home I made fizzy sherbet. This reminds me of my childhood and always lifts my … Continue reading Fizzy Sherbet

Pistachio Halva Using Four Ingredients

Nov 11, 2019Oct 9, 2020 ~ Tandy ~ 14 Comments

This recipe for pistachio halva uses only four ingredients and is the simplest I have tested. It has taken me years to find a recipe that works, and that tastes authentic in my opinion.   Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Pistachio Halva ♥ I have zero common sense, which is not usually … Continue reading Pistachio Halva Using Four Ingredients

Even though I have made honeycomb already, I wanted to perfect a reduced sugar recipe. And this one for cinder toffee is it. I have made it successfully with both agave syrup and date syrup, and coated in chocolate they are sublime. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Cinder Toffee ♥ For quite … Continue reading Cinder Toffee | Honeycomb Made With Date Syrup

Fruit And Nut Truffles

Feb 25, 2019Feb 2, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 18 Comments

These fruit and nut truffles were made all the better as they made use of my own dried apricots. Dave managed to devour them all before I could get enough photographs, they were that good. Head straight on to the Recipe For Fruit And Nut Truffles ♥ I have always kept my handbag in the … Continue reading Fruit And Nut Truffles

Fridge Tart Topped With Pistachios

Dec 14, 2018Nov 3, 2020 ~ Tandy ~ 8 Comments

Time is still not on my side, and I am trying to have as many simple recipes made and blogged until I catch up. This fridge tart is one of them. It is really a doddle to make and is divine to eat. A recipe I urge you to make when you need to serve … Continue reading Fridge Tart Topped With Pistachios

Sweetie Pies With Caramel Marshmallow

Oct 29, 2018Oct 7, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 10 Comments

Sweetie Pies are all about childhood memories. The sweet marshmallow is toned down by the thick crunchy biscuit and the dark chocolate surrounds.

However, my philosophy in life is to always … Continue reading Sweetie Pies With Caramel Marshmallow

Chocolate Caramels Made With Nut Butter

Aug 27, 2018Jul 26, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 14 Comments

I was inspired to make these chocolate caramels as party favours. The effort to reward ratio is excellent. You can make these well in advance and they keep really well. That is, if you can resist the temptation to eat them before you wrap them. Head straight on to the Recipe For Chocolate Caramels ♥ … Continue reading Chocolate Caramels Made With Nut Butter

Chocolate Tiffin Made With Dried Figs

Aug 3, 2018Jun 23, 2020 ~ Tandy ~ 10 Comments

I succeeded in creating this chocolate tiffin that closely resembled what we had in Scotland. It does not really qualify for recipe status as it is a matter of putting together ready-made ingredients. But, it is so moreish and a perfect treat. Head straight on to the Recipe For Chocolate Tiffin ♥ Last year May, … Continue reading Chocolate Tiffin Made With Dried Figs

Speculoos Spread

Mar 27, 2017Feb 22, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 28 Comments

The real reason I made speculaas biscuits is I wanted to make speculoos spread. I have never tasted the 'real deal' but I can tell you this tastes amazing. Perfect just for dipping a spoon into the jar and eating it plain. Head straight on to the recipe for Speculoos Spread ♥ A friend recently posted … Continue reading Speculoos Spread

Mar 17, 2017Feb 18, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 25 Comments

I thought I was being quite original with making Condensed Coconut Milk, but that is not the case. I have discovered that there are plenty of recipes out there, and you can even buy a tin of this. This is a dairy free alternative to regular condensed milk. Head straight on to the recipe for Condensed … Continue reading Condensed Coconut Milk | Dairy Free

Rose Water Marshmallows Dusted With Chocolate

Jan 2, 2017Nov 22, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 24 Comments

My aim is to make sugar free marshmallows as perfectly light and fluffy as these rose water marshmallows are. I have dusted them with drinking chocolate but you could go the traditional route of using cornflour. Or even add some flavour to icing sugar. Head straight on to the recipe for Rose Water Marshmallows ♥ … Continue reading Rose Water Marshmallows Dusted With Chocolate

Honeycomb Toffee Using Coconut Sugar

Dec 2, 2016Nov 9, 2020 ~ Tandy ~ 25 Comments

Pistachio Brittle

Jun 25, 2015Jun 20, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 23 Comments

I am one of those people who goes from having a sore throat today to having bronchitis tomorrow. I don't know why that is. Every year over the 16th of June long weekend we would go away to Sedgefield and we would leave home and I would feel fine and by the time we got … Continue reading Pistachio Brittle

Marzipan | Perfect Recipe To Make At Home

May 14, 2015Apr 12, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 29 Comments

In the good old days, you would call a company when you had a query and speak to a real person who dealt with your issues. But now, everything we do can be handled on-line. Last September we had booked flights to Paris on Air France. Sadly for us, the pilots went on strike days before … Continue reading Marzipan | Perfect Recipe To Make At Home

Tempered Chocolate | Stove Top Method

Apr 23, 2015Mar 19, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 26 Comments

This recipe for tempered chocolate uses a stove top. This is much easier than a microwave when it comes to controlling the temperature. It's amazing how reliant we have become on cell phones.
