    Iced Christmas Pudding

    We’re feeling very festive here in the Traybakes’ household. Little Miss Traybakes decorated our Christmas tree a couple of weeks ago. We’ve already had a few snowfalls. And our mission to introduce mince pies to the Americans continues. It’s mostly been…

    Snowballs

    We had our first flurries of snow in the week before Thanksgiving this year. When I’m clearing several inches (hopefully not feet!) of snow off our driveway later in the winter, I shall try to remember the look of sheer…

    Mars Bar Traybake

    I’ve never been a big fan of the Mars Bar. I would never buy one in a shop. Although if you offered me a mini Mars Bar, I probably would take it. For some reason, I think they taste better than…

    Ovaltine Creams

    OK, confession time. The first time I made these Ovaltine Creams, what I made was technically not Ovaltine Creams, I made Horlicks Creams. I couldn’t find Ovaltine here in the US. I did find US-made Ovaltine and the first ingredient was sugar,…

    Coconut Biscuits

    Coconut features heavily in traybake recipes. Glacé cherries feature heavily in traybake recipes. And this recipe for Coconut Biscuits has both of those. If you’re looking for more recipes that contain lots of coconut and cherries, then I’d also recommend…
