Matcha Nama Chocolates

Matcha Nama Chocolates

I have always liked Matcha sweets, but after going to Japan, I love them even more, especially when Matcha powder is paired with chocolate. In fact, in Japan you can find a huge variety of chocolates made with Matcha, including famous brands like Kit Kat or Pocky’s… yum! When we were in Kyoto, we fell…

Cubbaita

Cubbaita

Tomorrow is a very special day for all Italian children, as we celebrate the day of the Epiphany and the visitation of the Biblical Magi to the baby Jesus.  The night between January 5th and 6th is the night of Befana, who, in Italian folklore, is “an old woman who fills children’s stockings with candy…

Lime and Macadamia Nut Bark

Lime and Macadamia Nut Bark

Can you believe that I had never made chocolate bark before??  I know, so weird, especially considering that I am a chocoholic!  In my defence, I must say that it is not something we usually make in Italy.  For Christmas, we mostly make nougat.  But bark is so good, so versatile and, let’s face it,…

Cookies and Cream Fudge

Cookies and Cream Fudge

I made this Cookies and Cream Fudge to give to friends as part of this year’s Christmas hamper.  It is so easy to make and it tastes amazing.  My husband is a huge fan of Cookies and Cream anything, so he was over the moon when I made it.  But he wasn’t the only one…

Kitty Cat Doughnuts

Kitty Cat Doughnuts

I saw these on the internet while searching for ideas for my 5 year old’s kitten themed birthday party.  Apparently these Kitty Cat Doughnuts are quite popular in Japan.  So I set on a mission to replicate them at home.  I have a little confession to make.  I don’t like doughnuts.  Or so I thought. …

Rock Candy Lollipops

Rock Candy Lollipops

I made these lollipops for Victoria’s Frozen party.  I wanted to make some candy that resembled ice and these seemed like a cute idea.  I actually loved the way they turned out.  They really looked like ice and they were rough and sparkly.  Just beautiful.  Rock Candy is very easy to make, but it requires…

Salted Caramel Popcorn

Salted Caramel Popcorn

I only recently discovered salted caramel popcorn.  My husband bought a box of them from Costco for the birthday party of one of our daughters and I was quite sceptical about them at first.  But that only lasted till the first bite.  OMG, how could I have doubted these would taste so good?  In fact,…

SALTED NUTELLA CHOCOLATE FUDGE

It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal!  I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation.  It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a…

White Chocolate Passion fruit Truffles

WHITE CHOCOLATE PASSION FRUIT TRUFFLES

I told you I would not forget about you!!  So here I am with a sweet tropical recipe: White Chocolate Passion Fruit Truffles!  I love passion fruit and I think it goes very well with chocolate, especially the white kind, as its slightly tart flavour combines perfectly with the sweetness of white chocolate!  These truffles…

Chocolate Fudge

CHOCOLATE FUDGE

Who doesn’t like chocolate??  Well… I know a couple of people who are not crazy about it, but really… not many, right?  When it comes to home-made Christmas gifts, chocolate never fails and I try to always include something chocolatey in my little hampers.  This year I made my favourite fudge!  I made it for…

Soft Vanilla and Pink Salt Caramels

SOFT VANILLA & PINK SALT CARAMELS

I made these caramels to give away as presents for Christmas this year.  I had wanted to try and make my own caramels for ages, but all the recipes I came across had corn syrup as one of the ingredients and I wasn’t very keen on it… especially since I have never seen it around…

Carbone della Befana - Sweet Coal

CARBONE DELLA BEFANA – SWEET COAL

I thought of taking a little break from my Sicilian Street Food Party series of posts, to share this recipe with you.  In Italy, Christmas holidays always end after January 6th as we celebrate the day of the Epiphany and the visitation of the Biblical Magi to the baby Jesus.  That is also the last occasion…
