In my world, leggings do not ever equal trousers; that is, until the cold weather comes and I realise I own no trousers that fit me, and it’s just too cold (and in the case of yesterday, hail-stoney) outside for tights.

TK Maxx Jumper, Mint Velvet leggings and ASOS boots.

Sometimes you just need to give up on morals; at least my bum was covered, right?

As redemption, I bring you a recipe…although depending on where you live, it might not be redemption as the key ingredient isn’t readily available in the UK.

This was a bit of an experiment really, as I was at a loss of what to do with a jar of this that a darling blog reader sent over.
In the end, I opted for the same principle as my nutella fudge brownie bites and kept it simple.

1. Heat oven to 180*c and line a tray with cake cases (I made 21 fairy cake sized, muffin liners would be less)

2. Empty 400g of spread in to a large mixing bowl, resisting temptation to eat the lot straight up because it smells so incredible.

3. Beat in two eggs and blend until you have a smooth paste.

4. Fold in 10tbsp self raising flour and mix until well combined. The mixture is slightly oily due to the spread, this is fine.

5. Dollop teaspoonfuls (or more if you wish) in to the cake cases and pop in the oven for approx 10 minutes; this is based on my super hot oven, a toothpick or knife inserted in the middle will tell you if they are cooked (it should be clean when removed)

6. Allow to cool. Slightly. Enjoy. Prepare to be taunted by the scent of these for hours as it lingers in the house…long after you’ve run out of biscuit bites (they have a slightly crunch, biscuit like exterior, and cake like middle)
