These were really good except I used grease proof paper and not baking paper and they stuck! Managed to rescue most of them though.


Chocolate & Candied Orange Puff Pastry Swirls


After I made the cheese twisties I had some puff pastry left over so I spread chocolate spread on it, grated dark chocolate and sprinkled diced candied orange peel, rolled them up cut them into rounds and backed them for 20 minutes. Yummy!

I had to take a ready made starter round to a friends for the 6 of us for diner so I decided on 2 cheese twists each (wish I had made a dip too!). I followed the recipe for a few but then I decided to make a few variations and did some with pesto and mozzarella and some with chilli pesto and red Leicester with chorizo which were the ones I likes the most.

I'm trying to eat meat free about 50% of the time now (saving money, good for you, good for the earth etc) and I'm really enjoying it. This was a big hit with the two vegetarians in my house and was again very easy.

Was easy but definitely not as popular as the other two salads, maybe not a salad for a man - they missed the protein too much.

This was a big hit! Really quick, easy, tasty, good for you and diet friendly! Definitely will be making this one again when the sunshine returns!
