• Easter Catch Up And Baking Round Up.

  

  Hi everyone! I hope you’ve all had a very Happy Easter. It feels like ages since I’ve done a blog post. At the beginning of this year I planned on writing three posts a week. Two baking themed ones and one crochet/ craft one. March was very busy chez SmartCookieSam and we were away for…

• White Chocolate Malteser Bunny Slices

  

  It’s now the start of a busy recipe testing time for me in the SmartCookieSam kitchen. I’m so excited when it comes up to Easter as there are all these yummy chocolate eggs and other Easter treats around! The temptation is so real. The other day my son saw my secret stash of Easter treats…

• #100bakeschallenge: Rice Crispie Cakes

  

  Well these strictly aren’t Rice Crispie cakes, as there isn’t a single Rice Krispie in them. But allow me to bend the rules slightly as I wanted to make some Chocolate Easter Nests but you don’t make them with Rice Krispies. Cornflakes or Shredded Wheat. I noticed the wording on my #100bakeschallenge poster (see Crumbs…

• Mini Egg Flapjacks

  

  I can’t get enough of Mini Eggs and I can’t get enough of Flapjacks. So I thought what if I could combine the two? My regular Flapjack recipe is one I’ve used for over 15 years and I’ve lost count of the times I’ve baked it. It’s been baked for my family, for friends, baked…

• Flourless Chocolate Almond Easter Torte

  

  Hi everyone! Happy Easter! I hope that you are all ok, despite the difficult times we are living in at the moment. I am trying to keep busy despite the quarantine and am doing as much as I can to help where I can. My blog has been neglected again recently but I need to…

• Cornflake Crispies.

  

  I have a new favourite recipe book. It’s actually one I bought about 5 years ago and never got round to testing out any recipes. Mary Berry’s Baking Bible is a classic which millions of people use (including me) but Annie Bell’s Baking Bible is a fabulous book. It features many classics and traditional favourites…

• Decadent Chocolate Bundt. 

  Just before Easter I finally managed to get round to using my Nordicware Elegant Party Bundt pan. Easter was weeks ago but my blogging has gone by the wayside.  Life has just been too hectic recently.  The Elegant Party pan was a Christmas present and I’d wanted to use it for a while. What better…

• Syrniki from the Great British Bake Off Celebrations.

  

  I’m a bit at sixes and sevens with my blog posting recently.  I started writing this post last week but the WordPress app kept crashing on my ipad. I had nearly finished it too and the whole thing was lost.  I was fuming and ended up giving it up on the night.  Now I’m trying…
