Daim Caramel Mini Egg Brownies
The other day I had a great response on social media to the Terry’s Chocolate Orange Mini Egg Brownie recipe I posted. I also had lots of compliments about them from my work colleagues who actually got to test them out. Tomorrow, they will be getting an alternative flavour. This time, it’s going to be […]

terry’s chocolate orange mini egg brownies
As it’s getting closer to Easter and I’ve been getting ready for the Easter Bunny coming chez SmartCookieSam, it’s got me started to think about some Easter recipes. Usually I look at what Easter Chocolates are around in the shop although I’m surprised the mini eggs have lasted that long. Once a packet is open […]

fitwaffle’s baking it easy- a book review
I must admit I’d never heard of Fitwaffle before I picked up a copy of this book the other day. I’d gone to Northallerton to buy baking supplies and saw Fitwaffle’s Baking It Easy on the shelf in WHSmith! I am always looking out for new baking books. Those of you who know me well, […]

#100bakeschallenge: Sausage rolls and scones.
For Mother’s Day this last Sunday I made an Afternoon Tea for my own mum, Mr S and I to enjoy. My son is away at uni and my daughter was working, although I did get to see her in the morning and then she was home to enjoy the Afternoon Tea leftovers later! For […]

#100bakeschallenge: Raspberry and white chocolate muffins (Muffin Monday!)

#100bakes: Victoria Sponge.
You can’t beat a traditional Victoria Sponge. It’s got to have fresh cream in it, for me. I also prefer it sprinkled with caster sugar, rather than icing sugar. A Victoria Sponge is another bake to scratch off the #100BakesChallenge Poster. I chose to use Mary Berry’s recipe, which always works for me. Instead of […]

National Chocolate Caramel Day: Caramel Chocolate Rocky Road
I absolutely adore Rocky Road and made a batch of it the other day thinking ahead to celebrating National Chocolate Caramel Day on Saturday 19th March (see my National Mostly Foodie Days Of 2022 calendar by My Legoman! It was also another challenge to scratch off my Crumbs By Collette #100BakesCalendar As I make a […]

#100bakeschallenge: Fondant Iced Birthday Cake
What a busy few days it’s been both in the SmartCookieSam kitchen. As I type, it is Sunday March 20th and it has been a glorious, sunny Spring weekend up here in North Yorkshire. We have been very lucky with the weather over the past couple of days. But as I am so busy, I’ve […]
