peanut butter cups

Hello.

Two posts in a row, wow this is impressive for me. These are so simple, I don't know how I have not made them before. They may not look like the original Reese's that we all know and love, but these homemade ones consist of 2 ingredients: peanut butter and chocolate, and still taste incredibly good. 

Ingredients

2 bars of any type of chocolate you want

1 jar of peanut butter

Method

Melt one bar of the chocolate. Any way will do.

Put one teaspoon of this into each hole of a miniature cupcake tray, the holes have a 4-5cm diameter I believe. (I only filled 9 holes)

Put this in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Then put a layer of peanut butter on top of this, leave space between the peanut butter and the edge of the tray (to allow the chocolate to flow down the side)

Melt the remainder of your chocolate, and put a teaspoon on top of the peanut butter,(or however much it takes to cover it.)

Put the tray in the freezer for about half an hour.

Take get the peanut butter cups out of the tray, just hold it upside down over a clean surface, and hit the underneath like you would a tray of ice. They should just drop out.

Tips

Leave them a little while before eating, as the chocolate will be hard and the peanut butter soft. If they are left out for say 10 minutes then the consistency will become a little more similar and they will be easier and yummier to eat. 

However, you should store them in the fridge, just so the edges don't melt a little bit. 

Servings: 8-12 (depending on your chocolate)

Time: 50mins - 1 hour.

Enjoy!

overnight oats

Hello.

First off: Happy Valentine's Day. I have been hugely anticipating coming home from school this week, as there is a significant lack of opportunities to do anything of the cooking variety. 

Inspired by nearly every single 'health blogger' out there, I decided to prepare some overnight oats for breakfast on Valentine's Day morning. Our fridge is slightly lacking in fruit, but we have a lot of seeds and other things like that, but luckily we have blueberries (my favourite). 

The difference between overnight oats and regular stovetop oats is that the overnight oats have time to absorb all of the liquid that they have been left in, this makes them creamy and smooth in the morning.

Ingredients

1 Cup of Rolled Oats

1 Cup of Almond Milk (Or Coconut milk/ regular milk)

Combine these and mix together in a bowl, then cover with clingfilm and put in the fridge overnight.

1 Banana 

1/2 cup of blueberries

1/2 cup of peeled, cut oranges

1/3 cup of pumpkin Seeds

1/3 cup of coconut flakes

1 teaspoon of Linwoods' milled flax, pumpkin, sunflower seed and goji berry mix.

Add these on top in the morning. 

Enjoy!

snow in the night

Hello.

I realised recently that I have rather neglected my blog, and I have come to the decision that it was because I had solely dedicated it to food. Food is quite a hard topic to keep up with, as being at school there is minimal time when there is the option to cook. I certainly will not stop blogging about food, but I have been searching around the internet recently in search of blogspiration, and happened upon Ella Grace Denton's blog (We Need To Live More). It is right up my street, and so I thought that I could slightly copy some of her overlaying titles, and I really liked the one called: adventure. 

So you here you have it. My first blogged about adventure. It is the first time it has snowed at school this year, leading to a little bit of excitement amongst a few of us in my boarding house. 

Hope you like them.
