Peanut butter and chocolate Christmas trees

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2014!!!

We will be heading to L.A for the holidays and soooo looking forward to that (I'll try to keep my instagram up to date) :) 

In the meantime I will leave you with a little super simple recipe, I took the inspiration from a rather traditional peanut butter squares recipe and shaped them into Christmas trees just to give this treat a Christmas twist!

Enjoy ;)

Hi all & Happy New Year!

It's been a while since I last posted but I guess that for everyone the Christmas/New Year season is a pretty busy one!

This post is a little overdue as Christmas was 2 weeks ago but I thought I would share with you my 2012 gingerbread recipe. 

This year I decided to try out Martha Stewart's recipe (click here to view). I absolutely loved it and the cookies turned out simply delicious; the only modification I made was to substitute the molasses with Lyle's Golden Syrup as I am not a fan of molasses. It might sound a little strange to add pepper into a cookie dough but trust me it blends in perfectly with the rest of the spices.

In my next post I will show you the different Christmas goodies I made with the dough;) 

...And here is a little preview of my next post... can you guess what I have been baking?! ;)
