Fudgy Raspberry Brownies are so perfect for your Valentine! However the inspiration to create these came from slightly more down to earth passion!

We love camping all that outdoorsy fresh air and relaxation. Being slightly organised, I generally do a bit of a bake to take along with us. A slice of something tasty to have with a cup of tea while watching the stars on a clear, dark night; pure primal bliss!

This year preparing for our camping trip was no different and I baked up my Banana and Coconut Bread. But I also started thinking about the amazing brownie I had at my friend Dawn’s Pure Food Kitchen. While I have already blogged a Chocolate Brownie recipe with chocolate chunks, I was after something similar to Dawn’s which had the taste of berries along with the fudgy chocolaty brownie taste.

My challenge was that using my old recipe if I was to add more liquid by adding the raspberries, I could end up with a Chocolate Raspberry smoothy! So searching the blogosphere I found that the best way would be to drop some of the liquid (eggs) then I should be able to add the raspberries.

I’ve always had a thing for truffles. I don’t know what it is. Ever since I was a kid I’ve loved making, and subsequently devouring, truffles of all types and flavours. They always felt like such a fancy treat, so now, with a abundance of tried and true flavour combinations; they’re my go to snack for afternoon visitors or to pack into The Man’s lunch.

Peppermint and chocolate is one of my favourite combinations, it’s refreshing and delectable! Be careful when adding the flavour oil, if you accidentally add a smidge too much it can be like licking toothpaste off a candy-cane – peppermint overload. I like to drop mine onto a spoon first and then tip into the mixture. Too many slip ups have taught me caution!

For those in NZ, I found my peppermint oil at Huckleberry Farms in Auckland, but you will also easily find them in…

I was thinking of making my Banana and Coconut Bread into little cupcakes today. And cup cakes need frosting don’t they? So I went looking for a a recipe for frosting and I came across this yummy looking Gingerbread cake on Paleo Fondue, and better still, it has Cream Cheese frosting! Now I have a dilemma as this cake looks so much more tasty than Banana bread cupcakes. I guess I will probably have to force myself to bake both!
