Christmas Mint Slice Balls (No-Bake)
These are the best!! Out of everything I make, I think this is what people love the most. I can’t tell you how easy they are. I have been so happy since Coles makes gluten free mint slice, so now those with severe dietary needs are catered for. Ingredients: Arnott’s Mint Slice or Coles I’m …

Christmas White Chocolate Rocky Road
It’s been an incredibly long time since I’ve posted and I felt I had to share my recipes for Christmas. Every year I get incredibly excited for Christmas, and it has become a yearly tradition to bake and give these as gifts. Then I remember the massive process involved with having to buy specific ingredients, …

White Chocolate Chip & Cranberry Cookies…
As a child was always hovering around my parents as they cooked. I think it came to mum as a huge relief when I began offering to cook the family dinners and bake. Still at mums place now there is a big plastic container full of ‘my things’ – ranging from holiday themed patty cases …
Hot Cross Buns…

Jam Drops…
I must have been about 7 or 8 and I had entered an IXL (the jam) colouring competition and won myself a children’s cookbook. I was pretty excited and I felt really grown up that I had my own cookbook. I started going through the recipes and deciding what to make – the first thing I …
