Chocolate Covered Toffee

Recipe by: FUNKYMONKEY

Reviews(1)

Chocolate and almonds top off a rich buttery toffee. A simple recipe that you could easily remember and whip up any time. It might be easier if you use a sugar thermometer the first few times to check if the toffee is ready. I always get compliments and requests for more. Use any type of nut that you like in place of the almonds.

Christmas Pudding Cakey-Treats

Recipe by: aok666

Be the first to review it!

Daft name, I know. I asked my granny (a retired chef) what they actually were and she said they were a kind of truffle (the choccy sweet, not the fungus). I looked up truffles and they are made from cream, sugar and grated chocolate. They are NOTHING like these. I guess Granny was bluffing. So I am going to stick to the daft name above until someone has a better suggestion.

These cream cheese blintzes are a wonderful party nibble or canape. Utilising white bread, they're also easy to make! They can be frozen in an airtight container before baking - then all you'll have to do is pop them in the oven straight from the freezer!

Old Fashioned Rice Pudding

Recipe by: Juanita

Be the first to review it!

This rice pudding turns out in a lovely custard texture. A great balm for those seeking a return to some of the old-fashioned foods of their youth! We like it best because it is oven-baked and not made on the hob.

Spicy Cheese Straws

These cheesy and buttery cheese straws come with a kick thanks to a touch of cayenne. If desired, omit the cayenne for a simple cheese straw recipe.

White Chocolate Pots

Recipe by: D Hatzizacharia

A light but quite rich alternative to the standard dark chocolate mousse. This is a must for all chocoholics or if you need an easy dinner party dessert! It does require chilling time however!
