There’s nothing gluten free or slimming with these jam spirals, but if you’re in the mood for some comfort food these will do the trick. Maybe a cold Sunday afternoon tea treat.

CHEWY COCONUT CHOC-CHIP COOKIES
Any biscuit recipe that starts with – combine the melted butter with the sugar in a bowl – makes me think it’s a great one for the kids to make. These with coconut, oats and choc-chips will keep them busy during the school holidays and feed them as well. That makes it a winner, doesn’t it?
HOME BAKED HOT CROSS BUNS
Years ago I tried to make hot cross buns and they were really awful. As a result I’ve never been game to try them again. Maybe if I’d found this recipe with it’s helpful hints on using yeast I might have given them another go. I hope you have more success……..
CHRISTMAS – CHEWY CHOCOLATE COCONUT DROPS
Last week I made three different sweet treats – rum balls, chocolate fruit balls and white chocolate, lemon and almond balls – for our family Christmas get together. I’ve been making them for years and they’ve become somewhat of a family tradition. I’m thinking that maybe next year I’ll try these chocolate coconut drops as well and see what the family thinks of them.
SWEET POTATO AND SPRING ONION SCONES
Scones are something I’ve never been all that good at making. I suspect it’s because I over work the dough, something that this recipe clearly says not to do. I do like the combination of sweet potato and spring onion though, so perhaps I’ll give them a try. I’m sure those with better technique will end up with a very tasty scone.
DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MELTING MOMENTS
It’s a very long time since I made a batch of melting moments. Every time I see them in a jar at a café, I remember how wonderful they taste and think I should make some – then I remember the disappointment of how few you end up with after joining them together…… If that doesn’t put you off, you might like to try these with the added twist of chocolate. Enjoy!!!
WHITE CHOC-MINT CRACKLES
Here’s a way to update the old rice bubble chocolate crackles that appear at every kid’s birthday party. With school holidays not too far off maybe you can get the kids to make a few different batches, using a variety of their favourite chocolate bars.
BANANA NUT LOAF
You probably can’t put slices of this loaf in school lunch boxes because of the nuts, but if you’re working from home you won’t have that restriction and of course it will mean more for the adults in the family……not an altogether bad thing!!!
SESAME MUNCHIES
I always think of sesame biscuits as being savory, but these are definitely sweet as they have honey and brown sugar, mixed in with coconut, rolled oats, oil and butter. Almost a healthy combination!!!!
GINGERNUT FUDGE (NO BAKE) – Gluten Free
Mum and Dad both belonged to the Keysborough Bowls Club back in the day, which is where this little Simple Slice Recipe book comes from. I was surprised looking through the recipes to come across this one, because it can so easily be converted to gluten free. The range of GF biscuits is growing, but the one that holds its consistency best from all that I’ve tried is the Gingernut ones. I use them for cheesecake bases and they work perfectly. I’m pleased that I can now try them in this recipe.
