Chocolate Caramel Shortbread
Officially hailed as ‘one of the best things you’ve ever made Mum!’ I reckon this is a recipe you don’t want to miss out on. A twist on the classic Millionaires Shortbread but with a brilliant chocolate caramel instead. Four full batches in our house this week (and I’m sorry to admit I only gave one of those away) – better add the ingredients to your shopping list!
Chocolate & Salted Caramel Bundt Cake
See this cake? I blame you lot….entirely!
I asked you your favourite flavour combinations over on Facebook and this came up time and time again. It had mind altering effects and before I knew it you had brainwashed me and I was baking you this cake.
Day 8 – Choc Cherry Panettone
Dark Chocolate and Cherry Panettone for my Day 8 recipe – made in a cupcake/muffin tin.
Make them now and stash them in the freezer! This one’s a long slow one, very little hands on to be done and plenty of get on with other stuff time – now that’s my kind of recipe!
Day 5 – Chocolate Reindeer
I have had so much fun making a herd of reindeer for Day 5 – I very much hope you’ll love these cheeky chappies as much as I do!
The body is a round ball Christmas tree chocolate!
You will need:
Ball/bauble christmas tree chocolates
Chocolate sugarpaste (Sainsburys)
White, red, orange and green sugarpastes
A little melted chocolate
Day 2 – Christmas Pudding Chocolate Covered Oreos
Mmmmm! Christmas pudding shaped Chocolate Covered Oreos!
Now you can get specific chocolate oreo moulds that are a good deal smaller than the way I’m doing these. I don’t have one, my kitchen is bursting with equipment and I may be the recipient of an angry husband should any more essential bits and pieces make their way into our house!
Chocolate Oreo Pears
Not so much a recipe, more a gathering together of things!
(No panic, there’s a recipe coming tomorrow too)
These pears decided not to let apples have all the fun this Bonfire night and jumped onto sticks too! Of course if you’re after a traditional caramel toffee apple recipe then I can help with that too – just see the recipe here.

How to Temper Chocolate
I’ve managed to avoid the need for tempering chocolate until now and managed just to wing it in the past. The time has come and chocolate is intriguing me, so in order for it to play ball I figured it was going to be important to learn how to temper chocolate.
