Afternoon Tea :)

Well we had a lovely day today, just chilling with a friend and two children.
They all played games and loved snacking on the little tid bits.

So we had a kind of afternoon tea with sandwiches, mini sausages, cakes and biscuits.
Yesterday i starting making the them the sweet and savoury.
Never tried these recipes before so today we tried them


No-Bake Chocolate Oat Bars

76g of butter
100g dark brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla flavouring
255g oats
100g of milk chocolate
2 large tablespoons of peanut butter

Melt butter and add in the brown sugar and vanilla
Then add in the oats

Cook ion low heat for about 3 minutes till blended. Take off

Heat and press 1/2 of the mixture into a bottom of a baking tray.

 Melt chocolate and peanut butter. then spread the mixture over the oat mixture .

Then add the rest of the oat mixture on top.

Then play the cake tin ino the fridge for a couple of hours or over night.

Once solidified take out of the tin and chop into pieces if you wish.

Trying also making jam bar but they sadly didn't work but, instead they were squishy. They tasted  as good as a crumble.

192 g self raising flour

120 oats

220g brown sugar

396g grams of butter

1 jar of jam.

Mix all the ingredients in except the jam.

 the jam.

Once blended together. Place oat mixture  on a tray. Then add the jam and the remaining oat mixture on top. 

Bake on oven on gas mark 4 till golden brown. Then take out and leave to cool completely.

As the recipe didn't quite work out i would serve it hot with custard.

Or just eat it cold as is.

Its really nice though :)
