Easy ChocolateTruffles, Brigadeiros

Easy Chocolate Truffles

These delicious Brazilian Chicolate Truffles are super sweet and lovely with a strong coffee, but I wouldn’t recommend that for the kiddies or they’ll be hurtling around like loonies for days full of sugar and caffeine, yikes!

Hidden Surprise Gingerbread Cookies

No Time To Shave, I Almost Killed The Cat And Grandma’s Birthday

Grandma's Birthday Card

People do feel special with a homemade card don’t they? They don’t just think, “Oh great, here’s another scrawled piece of tat from her kids because she’s too tight and lazy to go to the shop to get a proper card, and have you seen the state of her legs recently? She won’t be needing thermals this winter I can tell you!”

Reindeer Antler Muffins

Reindeer Cake

Do your children dislike Christmas pud and mince pies? These Chocolate Reindeer Muffins make a fun alternative and can be made before the big day, freeing you up for more festive family frolicking and less time in the kitchen.

Gingerbread Tree

Snowman and Gingerbread Tree

This beautiful edible tree makes a great table centre piece. Easy and fun to do, your children will love to get involved.

Hanging Chocolate Baubles

Chocolate Baubles On The Tree

Children love hanging chocolate decorations on the tree and enjoy taking them off and eating them even more. These are so easy to make and a lovely Christmas activity for the whole family to do together.

Father Christmas Song

Crumb being Father Christmas

We’ve had lots of giggles writing and performing this Father Christmas Song and hope you enjoy it too.
