A little taste of heaven


It might be a little presumptuous to say that these taste like a little bit of heaven, but well, they do. And yes, I am indeed blowing my own trumpet. 

This is a "Faye's Own", but it's also dead easy. 

What you'll need:

Cake mix:
 -4oz butter
-4oz caster sugar
-2 eggs
-4oz self raising flour
-cocoa powder

Icing:             
-Peanut butter
-butter
-icing sugar
-vanilla essence  
(there are no measurements for these, as I feel you should make it to your own preference).

What to do:

-Pre-heat the oven to 180o (I think thats gas mark 6)
-Mix butter and sugar until creamy 
-Add eggs and beat together
-Fold in the flour
-Add the cocoa powder (once again, to your own preference)
-Pour mix into cupcake cases and pop into the oven for about 30mins, or until done.
-Clean up, sit down, and wait. 

Once they've cooled down you can add the icing and decorate with added nuts if you wish. 

P.s yes, I do have a great fondness of peanut butter. 

Peanut Butter cookies




          Before & After











Okay, so I actually stole this from Hello Giggles, but it's just so good not to share it. Plus, it's gluten and dairy free; so like, aside from the sugar, they're totally healthy ;) aha. 

There's not really much point me repeating the recipe, so...if you love peanut butter (and who doesn't?), go get yourself the ingredients and add these to your new favourite things. 

New beginnings

I know technically Spring is the season for new beginnings, but it's Autumn and I feel like giving this another reboot. This time around though, I'm planning on using the blog purely for my kitchen ventures. It kinda makes sense seeing as I've already uploaded a couple of recipes.

Okay so...if you happen to stumble across my concoctions, please feel free to enjoy.
