November’s Bakedin Baking Club

November’s Bakedin Baking Club

This week marked the second Bakedin Baking Club box uniquely designed by Michel Roux. I was a little undecided following the First Bakedin Baking Club subscription and have been eagerly anticipating what the next box will hold, in the hope it will make up my mind.  Once dispatched an email was sent with the ingredients I would need. From the list of ingredients I was a little unsure what the bake would be, and in actual fact feared it would be a take on a Victoria Sponge. Fear not though this month’s bake was a Raspberry Almond Cake. As ever the…

Hotel Chocolat Rhubarb and Custard

Hotel Chocolat Rhubarb and Custard

Rhubarb and Custard a classic British flavour and dessert, and defiantly firm on my favourites list. Whilst perusing the Hotel Chocolat Selectors I came across this one as well as the rather lack lustre Peanut Butter one, which I reviewed here in case you missed it. Rather than debating between the two I did what anyone else would and bought both! Rhubarb ganache layered with custard flavoured white chocolate, sealed in a milk and white chocolate vanilla seed shell.  Like the Peanut Butter Selector this too is jam packed inside, and you can certainly see the distinct layers. From the first bite I…

Happy Hump Day Everyone! Today’s post is not just about any old popcorn but cocktail popcorn. Yes there is such a thing. Courtesy of the fabulous Cupcake Snack Warrior who a little while back sent me one of her amazing food packages which included Joe & Seph’s Fruity Cosmopolitan, which as it happens is one of four boozy pouches they have on offer. It’s common knowledge that Cosmopolitan is my all time favourite cocktail, well we all want to be a little like those ladies in Sex and the City, the very fact that Joe & Seph’s have bought the cocktail to the popcorn…

What did win me over was the simple fact it was glittery and looked rather exciting…

Hotel Chocolat Peanut Butter

Hotel Chocolat Peanut Butter

Another day and another peanut butter find. Now I haven’t come across these before so I can only assume that Hotel Chocolat have released some newbies, and have finally jumped on the peanut butter band wagon. Hurrah!  These selector packs offer 6 chocolates for £3.75, and are all of a perfect size. Enough for a chocolate fix but you can easily have more than one if you fancy it.  Salted peanut praline sealed in a milk chocolate shell You can see from the inside that it is jam packed with praline, which makes for a promising chocolate. I will shock you…
