Turkish Delight White Christmas

White chocolate and Christmas, two of my favourite things packaged together in this irresistible slice. You can add whatever you want to this slice but I used turkish delight, macadamia nuts and dried cranberries. There is not much to this holiday treat so the key is good quality ingredients.

TURKISH DELIGHT WHITE CHRISTMAS adapted from Donna hay Ingredients: 500g white chocolate, chopped 250g turkish delight, chopped 1/2 cup of dried cranberries 1/2 cup of macadamia nuts, chopped. Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir through the Turkish delight, macadamia nuts and ¼ cup of the dried cranberries. Spread onto a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper and sprinkle with the remaining dried cranberries. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until set. Cut into pieces to serve Enjoy! Dashxx

Simple Scones

Mmmmmmm scones, the perfect afternoon treat. Not too sweet, dead easy to make and heavenly to eat! These scones by Bill Granger use melted butter so you don't have to rub the butter between your fingers which can be quite time consuming. These scones only took about 15 minutes to make and taste AMAZING! RECIPE:http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/bill-grangers-simple-scones-655

AWESOME KIT KAT CAKE!

Kit Kat Cake:

This cake is a bit tricky to make however, the hard work certainly pays off once you are finished! The main bit of this mouth-watering dessert is clearly the actual decorations. To make the cake inside, all you need to do is choose your own cake recipe. The assembly is a bit difficult though and I suggest you use a pair of helping hands to do this.

Firstly, place the Kit Kats around the sides of the cake until no more of the cake is visible. Then, secure the Kit Kats with a thick ribbon which not obly holds the chocolate in place, but it also looks great! Finally, fill the top of the cake with MnMs and hey presto ... your very own Kit Kat Cake is ready to eat!

What Do I Need To Make This?

- Your own cake recipe (a shortcut is to use a shop-bought cake but home-made cakes always taste better!)

- 2-3 packets of MnMs

- Lot of Kit Kats! (in this recipe, I used 2 different types of Kit Kats; caramel and normal ... this gives the cake some extra flavour!)

Ginger Vanilla Caramel Marshmallow Sandwiches

These little babies were SO GOOD! Who wouldn't love a vanilla melt-in-your-mouth marshmallow sandwiched between luscious caramel and two thin ginger biscuits and then drizzled with chocolate?

They are pretty simple to make, especially if you use a few shortcuts such as buying the biscuits and caramel. Although the marshmallow can get a pretty sticky!  The recipe calls for a sugar thermometer when making the marshmallow but we don't think it's that vital.
