Sweets
and Slices
If you love fudge, you MUST try Milk Toffee. This is a Sri Lankan sweet made with condensed milk and chunky roasted cashew nuts. Not too sweet, this treat is dangerously addictive and one batch won’t last long!
Have you heard of ‘Brookies’ yet? Brookies are the ultimate indulgence – a cross between a fudgy chocolate brownie and a crunchy choc-chip cookie. Both of these all-time classic recipes are literally baked together – two worlds collide to create this decadent treat that is just pure genius!
Lemon Biscuits
Soft, delicate and zesty! Crunchy on the edges and spongy in the middle. A perfect afternoon tea treat. This recipe makes a lot of little biccies, so there is plenty to share!
FG Rolo Slice
Look, it stands for fudgy and gooey… but after you taste it, ‘FG’ may have a double meaning! This slice is seriously easy to make. An indulgent cousin to the Brownie, this slice goes all out with the inclusion of those chunky Rolo pieces. The condensed milk in the mixture ensures a chewy texture that I LOVE! You just gotta try it to believe it.
Biscoff Oat Slice
A naughty, indulgent version of a humble oat or Anzac slice. This is the ultimate pimped up variant, combining Biscoff spread in the base, and a Biscoff swirl through a white chocolate topping. It looks pretty and it tastes divine!
White Chocolate and Macadamia Nut Truffles
Chocolate Truffles are delicious, BUT just wait until you have tried my White Chocolate and Macadamia Nut Truffles! These are the ultimate indulgent treat! A smooth, creamy, vanilla centre dotted with crunchy roasted macadamia nuts, covered in milk and white chocolate. Heaven on earth. Nothing better.
These cookies should be in every baker’s repertoire! This is my mother’s never-fail recipe – the biscuits’ short texture just melts in your mouth! The crunch of roasted peanuts is my favourite part. These are the perfect addition on your table when you have friends over to enjoy a cuppa for morning or afternoon tea.
Chewy morsels of goodness! These Apricot balls take only four ingredients. A gluten free, quick and easy crowd pleaser, perfect for gifts at Christmas time – or any time really!

Classic Shortbread
This is it! THE best shortbread recipe ever! But that’s only if you want an incredibly buttery biscuit that’s extra short and melts in your mouth! This is a perfect little pick-me-up with a cup of tea AND it’s so easy to whip up a batch, it makes a perfect gift at Christmas time.
Fudgy Chocolate Slice
This recipe is a little bit naughty, but oh so nice! Intense, chocolatey cake with a fudgy consistency topped with an indulgent chocolate buttercream. Ridiculously quick and simple to make for a slice that delivers a definite ‘wow’ factor. Kids love it, but it certainly pleases the adults as well!
This delicious Greek biscuit is enjoyed on special occasions like Christmas. These crescent-shaped delights are super buttery and melt in your mouth. With a similar texture to shortbread, these are made with an exotic mix of almond meal, pine nuts and subtle notes of citrus. A dusting of icing sugar is the perfect finishing touch.
These moist, chocolatey Rum Balls are sure to be a hit this Christmas (or any occasion really!) Makes a great Christmas home made gift idea too.

Oh my! This little taste sensation is one of my new favourites! Made from cake crumbs, icing and chocolate, these are easy to create and taste terrific! Perfect for creative cooks who want to experiment with mixing flavours and textures. The size is deceptive – it doesn’t feel as naughty as a slice of cake! A must try.
These Citrus Ricotta Doughnuts are a real treat, and so simple to make! Light and spongy on the inside, slightly crunchy and golden brown on the outside. Cover them with icing sugar and enjoy them while they are still warm. Typically Italian, the subtle citrus flavour is what makes these deep fried gems so special!
The ultimate biscuit indulgence. The winning feature of this recipe is the cream filling’s flavour combination of custard and orange zest. The biscuit is short and crumbly – delicate and delicious. The perfect match for an afternoon cup of tea.
Perfect for when you want a decadent chocolate hit. The middle is always fudgy and moist, studded with dark chocolate chips. Of course you can eat them as is, but I like to turn these delicious brownies into a dessert by warming them and serving with a generous dollop of vanilla ice cream. So versatile!
The kids are going to love this yummy lunch box snack, and the best part is, you know what is going into it! Real ingredients = real flavour and peace of mind. This is a great snack for an afternoon cup of tea or coffee for the big kids too!
Caramel Slice is an all-time classic! I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love it, but it surprises me how few people make it. Quit buying it from the shops and have a go at baking it yourself. SO much tastier and it is incredibly easy to make!

Christmas Pudding Balls
This is a variation of my Rum Ball recipe. If you like the combination of rum and raisin, then you will LOVE these bite-sized Christmas puds topped with an indulgent dollop of white chocolate. I love this Christmas treat because it closely resembles a rum ball, but it’s just that little bit different for a change.

If you haven’t guessed by now, I love caramel! Inspired by Anzac Day, I have created a slice that incorporates three of my favourite things – Anzac biscuit, gooey caramel and chunky macadamia nuts! I know. Pure genius.
One of my gluten free go-to recipes. These delicate biscuits are delightfully chewy with a crunchy shell.
