Zero baking required! Brand new blog event!

August 1, 2012 by Sarah Trivuncic 28 Comments

Inspired by my current kitchen chaos and recent White Chocolate Rocky Road Recipe I thought it might be quite fun to collect some posts where there’s zero baking required.

I don’t mind if you send me refrigerator cakes, jellies, truffles, candy – my only stipulation is that there must be zero baking required.

Any item that doesn’t see the inside of an oven will suffice – naturally we’re into the sweet stuff here but savoury items are also acceptable. When I say no oven required, I’m not after your latest seafood ramen noodles, that’s not how we roll here. If it’s party proof and you can pick it up with your paws and some kind of setting or chilling process was required then this is where you send it.


One lucky participant chosen at random will be sent a selection of choccy goodies taken from the new Elizabeth Shaw range pictured above.

    […] Today I’m sharing a recpe from my mother.  I have no idea where she got it from.   It was probably from a magazine back in the 80s or early 90s.  I remember having these in the fridge at home and I would sneakily get one out whenever no-one was aound.  You see, we were’t allowed to eat between meals and so I developed a habit as a secret eater.  Recently when I was back visiting my parents they made an appearance again.  Being an adult,  there was no secret eating this time.  I happily snacked on them mid-morning, mid-afternoon, midnight… I returned to London with the recipe and actually made them.  I followed the recipe exactly but there are countless variations that could be made another time – different nuts, different dried fruit or even, as my husband would prefer, no fruit or nuts but extra biscuits.  I am linking them to Zero Baking Required.
