We have all had that ‘Oh No’ moment and it tends to happen most at this time of the year!















The other day after returning home from visiting family we noticed a hand delivered package on the doorstep. Further investigation revealed a lovely, very thoughtful and completely unexpected gift from a neighbour!

Panic Stations!

We had a couple of hours before they returned from work to sort something out. Michael aka: Mr Bake Then Eat rushed me to the kitchen and told me to create something worthy of a Christmas gift.















We had very little in the house, we had a couple of cakes which are lovely but as all food bloggers will understand, when you bake a cake, especially if its for your blog, its going to have a slice cut out of it! Which is fine when you present your cake to close friends and family, they understand the need to cut the cake to photograph it 😀

But you can’t go gifting a cake that has already been cut into, even if the slice is shoved back in!















Hallelujah For Food Blogs

Lacking completely in ideas I hit one of my favourite all time blogs, which I know is reliable and has never let me down. Brown Eyed Baker. Michelle, the kitchen guru behind the site has a tone of brilliant ideas from snacks to full meals and a delectable range of sweet treats.















This is where I got this recipe from, it’s pretty much the same recipe except the quantity was reduced and instead of using just pecans I used mixed nuts. (It’s all I had in the house)

This is a brilliant quick to put together recipe and with a bit of crafty quick thinking and a handy glass jar you can make a lovely foodie gift out of these.

Not Just A Foodie Gift















If you don’t have need of a last minute foodie gift these make a lovely bowl of nibbles for you or your guests. After all we all love a nibble with a glass of your favourite tipple.















What’s your favourite party nibble? These are definitely joining my favourites list.
