Smores Bites



This bout of winter weather had me in the mood for something warm and gooey. These Smores Bites are delicious with their crunchy base, creamy chocolate and lightly browned marshmallow on the top. These little bites of heaven can be whipped up in 15 minutes and are likely to really impress your guests (even the kids will love them!) It's also a great finger snack for tea party platters.

Ingredients:
  • 1 packet Marie Biscuits (or Tennis biscuits)
  • 6 Tbl margerine
  • 24 blocks of chocolate
  • 12 marshmallows

 
Directions:
  • Crumb biscuits in a food processor or blender to fine crumbs
  • Add in the margerine and mix until the crumbs are coated evenly and stick together when pinched
  • Place a spoonful of mixture into a muffin pan and press on the bottom and sides
  • Place in a 180° oven and bake for 5-8 minutes
  • Remove from the stove and add two blocks of chocolate into each cup followed by a marshmallow
  • Change the oven to grill and grill until marshmallows begin to brown
  • Wait 10 minutes for them to cool a bit before taking them out of the muffin pan
Enjoy and try not to eat them in one go!

Keep it cooking,

Three Ingredient Sweetcorn Fritters


All this cold weather has had me craving something warm and comforting. These sweetcorn fritters are super easy to make and are a great balance between sweet and savoury. They are great as a side dish or to add to your bacon and eggs for breakfast.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • 1 can creamed sweetcorn
  • 1 egg

Directions
  • Mix all ingredients together
  • Heat a pan with a little oil, drop blobs of the mixture into the pan
  • When they begin to bubble flip them over until evenly browned
  • Enjoy!

Now all I need is some family at my table to share these with...or maybe not!

Keep it cooking,
Kelly
