Peppermint Creams the perfect gift for teachers

With Christmas just around the corner, we decided to make some gifts for the little lady's teachers this year.

Homemade gifts are always nice to receive and these Peppermint Creams are not only delicious, but they are also simple to make. Who wouldn't want to receive such a thoughtful homemade gift? Check out the recipe and join us as we get elbow-deep in icing sugar and make some Peppermint Creams, the perfect gift for teachers


60 Second Nutella Cookies

60 Second Nutella Cookies

The little lady found a 60 second Nutella cookie recipe over on TikTok, unfortunately, she couldn't find it again. She could remember the ingredients, just not the amounts of each item. But with a little playing around, we found the correct balance.

And when we did find that correct balance the outcome was amazing. The cookies tasted amazing with an extra gooey chocolate bit in the centre. The little lady loved her creation and we have had them several times since.

If you are looking for some simple baking to do with the kids, that doesn't take too long or create too much mess, have a go at this and let us know how you got on.

For the sake of this recipe, I will give approximate measurements but have spare of each ingredient to be able to adjust.

Cupcakes - Dad's Delicious Bake Off

The little lady decided for her Egyptian Topic Homework this week she would make cupcakes, with little pyramids on top.

Not to be outdone. The middle boy, in turn, wanted to make some cupcakes of his own.

One thing led to another and we now have enough cupcakes to feed a small army.
