Prune Brownies
Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la, la la la la. It’s the season to be jolly. I hope your all getting your Christmas hats on, and starting some of that good old Christmas Baking. After all what would Christmas be without a baked good, or two, mmm, or three, or four? Well it just wouldn’t be Christmas now would it? No most certainly not.
I kicked off my Christmas Baking with my Christmas pudding, which from what I’m told should be baked on the last Sunday in November, and thats exactly when I baked it. If I do say so myself it looks pretty dam divine. It’s sitting in the back of my pantry infusing with flavour and lugs of good old Christmas brandy. Just waiting for Christmas day. I love the traditions of Christmas.
This time, I have brought you another not so traditional Chrissy baked good, but what else would do but a sweet tempting little morsel of a brownie? Not any sort of brownie, a special prune brownie soaked in almond alcohol, is so soft and moist and just oozes Christmas tidings. I would sum it up as a Christmas cake brownie, mmm that sums it up nicely.
This recipe is perfect for gift giving this season, if you want to make something homemade to give to friends and loved ones, this is it, or if you just need to take a plate to a party, who’s going to resist a brownie that screams Christmas.
So if this brownie is screaming to you, you better jot the recipe down quick smart and get to it.

Peanut Brittle Slice
Well… doesn’t time fly when your having fun? It seems to be flying for me even when I’m not. I can’t for the life of me believe how quickly the weeks are blurring together to form months. Its been nearly 3 weeks since my last post, I think thats a bit of a record. Its not that I haven’t had recipes to put up, in fact I have a number of them, its just that I haven’t found the time. So I hope no one has been waiting for their next sugary fix.
Wedding season is back in full gear and between that and spending every free minute sanding little Miss Daisy, which has had its fair number of dramas I might add, I have just lost track of time,
This next recipe is one I made months ago, so many months ago I can’t even recall why. but its good, supper tasty in fact, just a little on the hard side to eat.
Super Yummy Raspberry Tart
Let me introduce you to the newest member of the Little Box Brownie Family, My newest Toy, the most exciting purchase ever, the cuties thing you ever did see………….. Drum roll please……….
My little 1950’s bondwood caravan. Isn’t she a dream? Granted she needs a lot of work, but isn’t she cute?
I told you a few months ago about my mid life crisis and how I was looking for a little caravan well I found her just a couple of k’s down the road, there she stood in the middle of a huge paddock, with daises spring up around her. I didn’t even look inside her as the owner couldn’t find the key but she was just what I was looking for so I told him I would take her. Well he looked at me like are your serious, your going to take her? Yep I’ll take her! He asked me quite a few times if I wanted to think about it, nope I said I’ll take her.
You realise she needs a lot of work he asked, and you don’t want to look inside?, yep thats fine I’ll take her. So I gave him a deposit and said I would be back. I was going to have to get new tyres for her before I could drive her as hers tyres where flat and cracked. So the lovely gentleman I brought her off said he would get some and change them for me.
In order to thank him for changing the tyres for me and selling me his awesome caravan, I baked him and his wife this little tart. Nothing is better than home baked goodness, well not in my book there isn’t.
I haven’t thought of a name for her yet any ideas?
My list so far is…
- Little B
- Cookies and cream (because she will be cream) I can’t take credit for this name, it was my sisters.
- truly scrumptious (because when I drive around with her I sing the song from chitty chitty bangbang, your truly scrumptious, yes truly, truly scrumptious. (at the top of my lungs I might add)
- Miss daisy (Because I’m driving miss daisy)
- Gerty
- lola
- Cupcake (cos she is so cute)
