Jaffa Cookie cakes!

       Look what I whipped up in the kitchen last nite...

I needed a quick and fun treat to whip up for a picnic this weekend and came across this recipe over on Kim's Site. I twisted the recipe a little by using Jaffa Cakes instead of Oreos (which I will also try some day :P) and they are oh so divine. Can’t wait to share them out at the picnic and see what everyone thinks!

 The recipe is below, try them yourself!

I love this plate, its been in my family for years. Its called 'English Garden'

Just look at that Jaffa Cake all tucked in, how can you resist! The recipe is below.

So why don’t you give it a go and put your stamp on this recipe with something different in the middle. I was even thinking of using Jammy Dodgers or Maltesers...

If anyone has any other great ideas i'd love to know, the possibilities are endless! Have a nice weekend.
