Kit Kat fudge is my new favourite thing!My 5 minute Nutella fudge recipe is one of my most popular posts - especially at this time of year so I thought I'd experiment with some other variations of homemade fudge.

Festive homemade Mince Pies on a budget….
Today I'm sharing my budget homemade mince pies which are totally amazing if I do say so myself! They might not look like works of art but they're easy to make, don't cost a fortune and taste delicious!I have a recipe for super easy sweet pastry which you can find here but for today's homemade mince pies I cheated and used some ready rolled sweet pastry that I picked up in the Tesco reduced section a couple of weeks ago for 39p. This actually works out cheaper than my homemade sweet pastry when you work it out and if you want to cut corners and save some time then ready made pastry … [Read more...]

I find that using five lemons does make the lemonade very tart and it does need that sweetness to counteract that!Today, I only used 3 lemons so halved the sugar and it was lovely - not as … [Read more...]
Amazing Ferrero Rocher Cupcakes….
I have an amazing treat for you today - Ferrero Rocher cupcakes!I didn't set out to make Ferrero Rocher cupcakes but as I was making some chocolate cupcakes for Miss Frugal and her friends, I spied some Ferrero Rochers tucked away in the treat jar and thought I'd have a bit of an experiment. The sad thing is that, because I didn't know how they would work out, I only made two of these bad boys! I used the rest of the chocolate cake mix to make normal cupcakes but if I'd known how brilliantly these would turn out I would have definitely made more - lots more! How to make amazing … [Read more...]
