What Katie baked ...

... or didn't bake as the case me be! Tonight I took myself off into the kitchen to make a rice krispie treat for my other half, thinking that the recipe sounded fairly easy and finding out that it was in fact easy peasy lemon squeezy!

I am not a massive fan of peanut butter on its own but I love peanuts and things like Reeses Peanut butter Cups and Snickers bars so knew I would enjoy this as much as my fiance has done. I followed everything to the letter apart from the corn syrup which we can't get here. I used golden syrup instead. I dread to think what the calorie count is like for this but it is so tasty! It didn't take too long to cool and it was a big hit.

(Bit of a blurry photo - I was in too much of a hurry to cut it up and try a piece!)

Not just papercraft....

I thought I would like a little review of the other "crafty" successes I have had over the last year. I love anything creative and relish any opportunity to try something new.

My fiance and I got out first home together last month and I have been spurred on to be more involved with cooking and baking. We have bought some new recipe books and I have really enjoyed cooking and learning new skills. For his birthday I made a chocolate brownie cheesecake with vanilla topping and it went down a storm!

This year we bought our own Christmas decorations together and I made my own wreath. It took us ages to get it to stay up on our front door! We discovered command hooks and have not looked back since!

And last but not least, the Christmas sleighs which I blogged about not all that long ago. 

I love it when a good idea comes together!
