Peanut Butter M&Ms Spread

-




Are you a nutter for peanut butter, then you have come to the right place! Bringing you a version of this delicious concoction with a twist. I first had the idea of making some homemade peanut butter for my sister's birthday, as she is crazy for it and then I remembered she loves the Peanut Butter M&Ms chocolate. This gave me the idea to combine the two to make a spread and I have to say it went down very well! Unfortunately not with me, as I can't stand peanut butter, which is so annoying 😂. Down below is the recipe if you want some of this 'edible goodness'!

Ingredients:

🥜300g Blanched peanuts
🥜1tsp Fine sea salt
🥜Groudnut oil
🥜Agave Nectar
🥜165g Peanut M&Ms bag

Instructions:

Step 1: Turn your oven on at 180℃ fan. Get a tray out and tip your blanched peanuts on top. Make sure to spread them out evenly and then once your oven is ready pop them in for 8-10 minutes. Make sure that you check regularly and shuffle them about a bit so that the ones on the edge don't burn. When they are golden brown take them out of the oven and let them cool completely.




Step 2: Once your peanuts are cool, get your food processor out and tip them in, along with the salt. Now mix until it is somewhat smooth.

Step 3:  Now add a dash of groundnut oil and a bit of agave nectar and mix. Keep adding the oil until it is smooth. This is how you make normal peanut butter so stop here if you just want that, but make sure to use 400g blanched peanuts instead of 300g.



Step 4: Next get your Peanut M&Ms and put them in a bowl and pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Now grab a spoon and use the back to crush the M&Ms. If they are still really hard, keep putting it in for 20-30 seconds until they are not fully melted but soft enough to crush with a back of the spoon.



Step 5: Now put 3/4 of the M&Ms in the food processor and pulse until they are in little bits.



Step 6:  Once that is done pour your mixture in a bowl and stir in the rest of the M&Ms with a spoon, so that there is more of a crunch and burst of chocolate when you bite in to it.



Step 7: Make sure that your glass jar and lid is sterilised by either putting it in the dishwasher or in the oven at 120℃ for 10-15 minutes and leave to cool. Once cooled pour in your mixture and enjoy your Peanut Butter M&M spread.

Italy: A Coastal Food Guide

I think we can all agree that Italian food is just like heaven on a plate. The burst of rich flavours combined with the vibrant colours and smooth and crunchy textures will get your taste buds excited on all the feasts that Italian food has to offer. This will be a guide to lead you through all of the delicious food, such as pasta, pizza, gelato and more down by Rapallo, Santa Margherita, Portofino, Genoa and the Cinque Terre.  I'll start off with Rapallo, my favourite food place was at this hotel called Hotel Europa or as I liked to call it the pink palace, as it stood out from it's surroundings by its' vibrant colour. This hotel has a very wide restaurant space and a quiet calming atmosphere. The people who work there also seem to be Ed Sheeran fans, as there was a lot of his music playing quietly in the background, no complaints from me!😂I think it was my favourite place to eat, because the food was so creamy to the point where it melts in your mouth and it was so...

It's becoming increasingly popular in our daily breakfasts and even dessert. I have recently loved adding this delicious oat, fruit and sweet blend into my food, especially smoothie bowls! Of course I love eating this combo for the taste, but also because it fills me up and I'm someone whose appetite is ridiculous and it takes something special like this to do the job! So if you love granola as much as I do and would love to learn how to make some, please see below for my recipe.

Homemade Elderflower Cordial

Spring is slowly heading into summer in the UK at the mo, but as I am writing it is currently pouring down with rain and is very cold - classic. To be fair though it has been hot and sunny in the last few weeks, if you count 25℃ as hot, haha only in England. Anyway, I thought I'd share with you on how to make some homemade elderflower cordial, because it's that time of year and we actually have elderflower growing in our garden, which is such a revelation because we are not natural green-fingered people at home. If you don't have an elderflower tree/bush at home, then why not take a walk, you'd be surprise how much elderflower there is outside your front door! Below is the recipe for a refreshing drink that will keep you cool and your tastebuds tingling for more! Ingredients: 5 elderflower heads (make sure they are fully bloomed) 450ml boiling water 340g caster sugar 2 Lemons Also you need a glass bottle, which is sterilised - look at st...
