We've got into a bit of a habit lately of going for a walk on a Sunday afternoon after our tea.We try to go somewhere different each week and usually head wherever we're going in the car rather than just walk him close to home like we do that every other night.

This super easy to make no bake unicorn fudge is a real showstopper!I woke up early this morning feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep so I got up and while everyone else was still asleep, I cleaned the kitchen, put some washing on, had a cup of tea and made a batch of unicorn fudge.You know, the usual Sunday morning activities. ;-)This recipe for Unicorn Fudge is great to make with the kids and would be brilliant as a homemade present or as a cute addition to a party buffet as it tastes great but looks even better.

I thought I'd share some of the tamer ones with you to see if I could make you smile too.... If you check my internet search history today then don't worry if you see an odd one.
