Chocolate Chip & Rolo Blondies

If you're looking for a chewy and gooey treat that is incredibly simple to make then your search stops here. These slices ooze with chocolate and caramel when cut and they are bound to satisfy any sweet tooth. They are great served warm with ice cream, wrapped in ribbon as a gift or devoured at home by the family as a delicious dessert.

Two Tone Star Biscuits

It was a bit of a wet and wild bank holiday weekend with plenty of thunder storms across the country, so we decided to stay snug indoors and have some baking fun as a family. While I was busy making moist Madeira cake with Jambo, Moomin made a collection of treats by herself including American style muffins and these delicious two tone stars.

They are really simple to create yet the finish is rather pretty. They also fit in nicely with the return of The Great British Bake Off and the first theme - biscuits!

Creative Summer Project - Daily Activities for the Holiday

With the summer holiday on the horizon and our purses already in panic mode I thought it would be a nice idea to put together some posts to keep the kids entertained - for free or very little cost! 

My 'Creative Summer Project' will run daily with a new idea being shared between 23rd July and 5th September to provide inspiration and keep little ones occupied. As a parent I know that it can take time to search for fun things to do, and then find the materials to do them, so I've already created, tried and tested 44 (yes, I may be insane) recipes and crafts with the Mini Mes to prevent boredom from striking. 

These use store cupboard essentials and items from around the home, or recycling boxes, so you won't need to spend much at all, if anything, to be give them a go. 

When - daily from 23rd July - 5th September 2016

Where - www.TheMiniMesAndMe.com

What - a variety of crafts, recipes and activity ideas to keep your little ones occupied all holiday

Why - to inspire parents and give them some fun suggestions to try throughout the 6 week break

Nutella Brownies

Simple yet divine!

These brownies are complete within 40 minutes and as they only involve three ingredients they are ideal for little ones to create by themselves - they may just need some help with the oven.

Ingredients

1 400g jar of Nutella

70g self raising flour

2 eggs

(pinch of salt is optional)

Method

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and line a 9" by 12" (approx) baking tray with grease-proof paper

Mix together all of the ingredients in a bowl until smooth

Pour into the baking tray evenly and cook for 30-35 minutes; until crisp on top and just set inside

Allow to cool completely, slice into 12-15 pieces depending upon how large you want them

Scoff!
