DIY EDIBLE CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
/
One of my favourite things to do at this time of year is to make edible christmas gifts. I have a few favourites I've made over the years, caramelized nuts, chocolate and hazelnut biscotti and of course the classic gingerbread are all top of my list. This year peppermint stripes and candy canes have been the thing that's caught my eye. Here's three of my favourite diy edible christmas gifts I've found and added to my must-try list.
If you've ever fancied putting a gift box together but didn't know quite where to start you might want to check out this Hot Cocoa Kit in a Box from Damask Love. I particularly love those wooden spoons topped with crushed candy canes.
This simple and delicious Peppermint Pistachio Bark made by Laicie of A Thousand Thread and featured on Coco/Mingo is the perfect treat to keep bagged up and ready to go for any of those last minute unexpected guests.
How great are these gorgeous red and white rippled Peppermint Marshmallows from A Beautiful Mess? Pop them in a jar, tie with some red ribbon and you're all set with a great christmas gift.

CINNAMON SUGAR PASTRY STAR PARTY SNACKS.
/
Here's a quick and easy party snack for you, cinnamon sugar pastry stars. These are so simple to make that it's hard to call this a recipe, it's definitely more of a how-to. Not only are they a brilliant last minute party snack, they would also make fantastic pastry pie toppers.
Cinnamon Sugar Pastry Stars.
Ready made puff pastry.
Cinnamon.
Sugar.
1egg (beaten).
1. Pre-heat oven to 180c/gas 4.
2. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
3. Roll out your puff pastry and using a cookie cutter press out your chosen shape.
4. Mix together your cinnamon and sugar. I used a ratio of one part cinnamon to every three parts sugar.
5. Brush a little beaten onto the top of each star and then dip into your cinnamon sugar mixture.
6. Place on your lined baking tray and bake for 20-25 mins.
7. Remove from oven and leave to cool before removing from tray.
You could easily turn these sweet sugary stars into a savoury snack, all you need to do is replace the cinnamon sugar with some poppy seeds and parmesan cheese and you're all set.
If anyone's got any other quick and easy party snacks please share them in the comments below. I'd love to hear your ideas.

MY NEW FAVOURITE APP - A BEAUTIFUL MESS.

Happy Monday everybody. I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. It was a bit cold here but a couple of amazing sunsets made up for it.
I've been waiting and waiting for the A Beautiful Mess app to be available for android and this weekend it finally happened. I used it to make the collage above and I can easily see it replacing Picsart as my new favourite app.
