Happy Easter!

Without further ado, I present to you one of my favourite recipes - with a twist! I absolutely love making chocolate tiffin (malteser being my absolute fave) so since it is Easter Sunday, I thought I would bring you a delicious, easy-to-make dessert, mini egg style. 

I hope you like the recipe and don't forget to send me photos on Instagram/Twitter if you try it out!

Ingredients

225g Digestive biscuits, crushed

2 tbsp Caster Sugar

2 tbsp Golden Syrup

110g Margarine

4 tsp Cocoa Powder

225g Milk Chocolate

150g Mini Eggs

Method 

1. Crush all the digestive biscuits up and place in a mixing bowl. I recommend crushing them in a bag and using a rolling pin.

2. Melt the margarine, syrup, sugar and cocoa powder over a saucepan. Once melted, add 3/4 of the mini eggs to the mixture.

3. Pour the melted mixture into the bowl holding the crushed biscuits. Mix thoroughly and pour into a baking tin.

4. Melt the milk chocolate in a separate saucepan and pour over the mixture in the baking tin.

5. Decorate the top with the remaining mini eggs (or any other easter treats) and leave in the fridge for 15+ minutes.

This Easter, I kindly asked my family NOT to buy me any Easter eggs - I am reaaaaally trying to eat better and hundreds of choccie calories were not going to do my belly any favours! Instead, I was fortunate enough to receive some vouchers, cuddly toys and money (with a couple of chocolate presents here and there). 

I hope you are all having a wonderful Easter, whether you are spending it with friends, family or for some, working. Have a fabulous day! Now...off to my Nan's for a lovely family dinner.

Lots of love

Comment   

My last recipe (Oreo-Filled Cookies) post received lots of positive comments, views and general feedback so I thought it would be a good idea to post another. Even better...an Easter-themed dessert!

Enjoy these chocolate-y treats, maybe even make them in the Easter holidays if you are still at school like me? Don't forget to tweet or email me your version if you decide to make a batch for yourself :)

Ingredients : 

85g Plain Flour

180g Margarine

270g Caster Sugar

180g Dark Chocolate

3 Large Eggs

40g Cocoa Powder

6+ Cadbury Creme Eggs

Method :

1 ~ Grease your chosen baking tin (I baked mine is a circular tin) and preheat the oven to 180 degrees celcius/Gas Mark 4/350 Fahrenheit.

2 ~ Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over hot water. 

3 ~ In a separate bowl, break all the eggs and thoroughly mix in the caster sugar. I would recommend using an electric whisk for this stage - it really quickens the process!

4 ~ When the melted chocolate and butter is cooled, pour it onto the egg-mixture and fold together.

5 ~ Next, sift the cocoa powder and plain flour, making sure to fold the mixture again.

>>>>>

6 ~ Carefully cut your desired amount of Cadbury's Creme Eggs into halves. 

>>>>>

7 ~ Pour the mixture into the baking tin and cook for roughly 20 minutes. Remove the tin from the oven and place the Creme Egg halves into the mixture. 

8 ~ Finally, put the mixture back in the oven for a further 10-15 minutes. Allow 10 minutes cooling time after the brownies have been removed from the oven.

Voilà!

What is your favourite dessert?

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade | REVIEW

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade | REVIEW

Comment   

Brows are one THE most important part of my makeup routine. Unfortunately, I am one of those people who suffer with sparse brow hairs; therefore, they are difficult to shape when I get them waxed whilst further costing me an eyebrow tint for the beautician to ever SEE the hairs they need to wax. 

Finally, after many years of trying out awful brow pencils and powders, I have at last found the formula to satisfy my brows righteous needs...

Formulation - The highly-pigmented formula aids smooth application onto the brows - the creamy texture allowing the product to glide with ease. Also, the 'gel' is thick so a little product goes a long way; realistically, one dip covers one of my brows.

Colour - Not being able to buy Anastasia in England is such a pain when choosing colour matches. Therefore, I tentatively trusted Google Images to supply me with the correct colour match. To my luck and fortune, I succeeded and the shade 'Chocolate' matched my brows perfectly. This shade is slightly warm toned, complimenting my pale/ivory complexion. Finally, it is simple to create the gradient effect (dark to light from ends to where the brows meet) - all you need to do is apply more product onto the end of your eyebrow.

Angled 12 Brush - This brush has saved my life; it gives me ultimate precision when crafting my eyebrows, simple application due to the thin bristles and angled shape, and accompanied with a spooly to help tame those annoying stray hairs!! I would 100% recommend picking this up along with the Dipbrow Pomade. I totally plan on purchasing one for gel liner too. 

Sorry for the cringey selfie, but this is what the product looks like on my brows.

Have you tried the Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade? What is your holy grail brow product?

After seeing endless videos/pictures on social media of everyone's favourite treats encased in cookie dough, I knew I had to get baking! My boyfriend and I fell in love with the oreo-filled choc chip cookies and began to prepare a recipe...

Gather the ingredients below and follow our method to bake some of the best cookies you've ever tasted. If you do end up making some/a variation of these cookies, don't forget to send us a picture of them via my Twitter/Instagram Direct Messaging. 

Ingredients (serves 10) : 

200g Margarine

200g Caster Sugar

2 Eggs

400g Plain Flour

2 tsp Vanilla Essence

200g Chocolate Chips (100g White Choc & 100g Milk Choc)

Method :

1. Grease your baking tray and preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas Mark 4.

2. Cut the margarine into small cubes, place in a bowl and mix the sugar until a fluffy mixture is formed.

3. Add both eggs to the mixture and stir. 

4. Sieve the flour into the mixing bowl - if your mixture looks like the desired dough, begin to knead.

5. After kneading the dough, incorporate your choice of decoration/added extras (ours were white and milk choc chips!!!)

6. On a clean surface, break a small section of the dough mixture and press until a flattened, circular shape is achieved. Place an oreo, or your specified treat, onto the dough and fold the outer layer so the oreo is completely covered. 

7. Repeat step six for the rest of the mixture. Place on the baking tray and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Remember to leave them to cool on a rack for a further 10 minutes after being in the oven.

8. ENJOY! Eat them alone or acquire some mint chocolate ice cream as an added touch - it tastes amazing!

I hope you all enjoyed this slightly different post - comment below if you would like to see more recipes on my blog in the future. :-)
