Chocolate Gingerbread Men Gluten Free

Posted on December 16, 2013 by Amanda

This week Jesse and I made an army of these Gluten Free Chocolate Gingerbread Men for a Christmas present.

I love giving family and friends baked goods for Christmas and this chocolate gingerbread recipe is our favourite so it’s a perfect gift. I had a ball decorating the gingerbread men cut outs – especially the ones with a leg or head missing. The cutouts were gifted to Jesse last Christmas.

We also made Christmas bark for the first time (a white choc version with strawberry candy canes pictured above). I might share that next time.

Gluten Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes

Posted on August 10, 2013 by Amanda

These Gluten Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes are quite simply to die for!!

I made them a few weeks ago when I got back from Poland. They were a special request from Jesse and at the time I was too jet lagged to even contemplate sharing them on my blog. After giving away a few of the cupcakes to work colleagues and sampling myself I realised they are just too good not to share!

Now you will probably read the recipe and think gee that is a lot of peanut butter! I promise you that it’s the perfect amount to balance out the richness of the cupcakes.

Thanks for reading!

Chocolate Coconut Balls Gluten Free

Posted on June 20, 2013 by Amanda

In my family these Gluten Free Chocolate Coconut Balls are known as “Nothings” but you might know these bite size treats as Rum Balls or Golf Balls? They only require 4 ingredients and don’t require any baking which always makes for a great recipe!

They are often made when my family get together to celebrate a Birthday or Christmas. The problem is they always seem to disappear from the table. So these days we make a separate batch for my brother so everyone else gets to enjoy them too!

With thanks to my wonderful Nan and sister for the original recipe I modified to be Gluten Free.

Happy Eating!

Flourless Peanut Butter Choc Chip Biscuits

Posted on June 3, 2013 by Amanda

About 2 years ago I rediscovered my love for peanut butter and baking every peanut butter recipe I can get my hands on, including these amazing Flourless Peanut Butter Choc Chip Biscuits.

Peanut butter and honey on toast remains my all time favourite way to eat peanut butter but these Peanut Butter Choc Chip Biscuits come in as a very close second. They only require 5 ingredients with the recipe taking less than 30 minutes to make from start to finish! If you’re looking for something quick to whip up before guests come over, they are the perfect treat. Quick to make and super tasty.

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
