These No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares are so easy and quick to make but taste AMAZING! Just remember to keep them in the fridge to prevent them from going too soft.

TOP TIPS FOR MAKING THE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER SQUARES

Use crunchy peanut butter so extra texture.
If you don't like dark chocolate use milk chocolate for the topping instead, or a mixture of dark and milk.
These will keep in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 5 days so they are the perfect make ahead treat.

Strawberry and White Chocolate Muffins

Having been to my local pick your own farm this weekend and coming back with a huge punnet of strawberries (as well as a daughter with a very red mouth and stained clothes), I decided to develop a new muffin recipe. These strawberry and white chocolate muffins are delicious and are made even better with a glass of cold milk.

TOP TIPS FOR MAKING STRAWBERRY MUFFINS

Try adding blackberries or raspberries instead of strawberries - choose a berry that's in season.
Substitute the white chocolate for milk or dark chocolate if you prefer.
The muffins can be frozen so are great for pulling out of the deep freeze for kids lunchboxes.
