"Twixie Cup" Twix Sundae

After the success of the Snickers Sundae, I decided to experiment with one of my other vending machine favourites - Twix. A completely addictive concoction of ice cream, crushed Twix bars, Ice Magic and homemade caramel sauce (stay posted for the caramel recipe).

The leftover caramel sauce bottled in old spice jars. This gives me an idea...

Snickers Sundae

Sometimes there's nothing better than stuffing your face full of all the things you shouldn't.  That was the inspiration for my dvd and couch night dessert - a Snickers sundae.  Crumbled frozen Snickers, crushed cookies and a cow's worth of ice-cream generously drowned in Ice Magic.  Just add banana and you're a steak short of having all the food groups covered - now that's a balanced meal if ever I saw one.

Ladurée Bouquet

Anyone that's heard of macarons has most likely heard of Ladurée - the French master of these little wheels of goodness and all things sweet.  While nothing can beat a visit to Ladurée in its Parisian birthplace, I'm pretty happy to make do with the one nestled within Harrods in Knightsbridge, London.

The designer in me generally ends up picking a selection based on colour alone but if I'm choosing for flavour salted caramel is by far my favourite.  Everything about Ladurée is delicate - the store fit out, the crockery and, of course, the sweet treats themselves!  The pretty pastel packaging complete with ribbon makes take away hard to resist but eating in is recommended for the full experience, French waiters included!

Mmmmmm Crêpes... Nutella Crêpes

The wonderful crêpe stand at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park (London) over the Christmas holidays has crepes to suit every taste: cinnamon, lemon and sugar, banana, strawberry, chestnut.. the list goes on. They even have savoury crepes for those who've lost their sweet tooth. As far as I'm concerned, you just can't beat nutella on a cold day and judging by the number of jars decorating the stall, it seems a fair few people agree with me! YUM.

Dulce de Leche Crêpes at Latitude, Madrid, Spain

Dulce de Leche: a milk based sauce or spread that tastes just like caramel, only gooier and creamier! Couldn't manage a photo without eating some first.
