The way to this girl's heart...

is well and truly through her tummy!

The boyf and I decided not to bother with pressies for Valentine's day but I did come home to find a tray-full of these waiting for me....


I give you mini chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream topped off with milk chocolate covered pretzels :)


I'm not sure if any of you remember being able to buy these pretzels about 12 years or so ago. Andy and I were reminiscing about how much we liked them a few weeks back so he decided to have a go at making them from scratch. The mix of sweet and salty means they're definitely an acquired taste but I love them :)

Until next time,

    @ Zoe of course! we couldn't think of the name of them! everyone who remembers them loved them so don't know why they were discontinued!

    @ lilaloves they tasted as yum as they look!

    @ harrietalice hehe I'm a bad influence although if you don't eat choccy maybe its not so bad to skip the gym! Glad you enjoyed the read :)

    @ lexi920 they were..I've pigged out on nearly all of them! :/

    @ Amy they're very dinky..the pretzels kind of remind me of little hearts - that's what I'm telling myself anyway!

    @ Ellen it was - made me feel a tad guilty for not getting (or making!) him anything. Thanks for following!

    @ Lila Loves - cheers m'dear :)

    @ Rachel definitely give them a try - I'm not a great baker but the Boyf assured me 'even you could manage these' :-)
