What’s more appealing than a little chocolate and a love message. All over the world Baci chocolates are given as tokens of love. A whole hazelnut covered with granules of hazelnut and dark chocolate with a magical message of affection. My childhood memories are vivid of these “special” chocolates, everyone opening these petite chocolates and one by one reading the message…nothings really changed in my adult years. I came across this recipe and just couldn’t resist the indulgence! Figs dipped in chocolate and hazelnuts. Divine!
With friends visiting from Australia, this week has been a buzz, I’ve changed hats so many times this week. I’ve enjoyed their visit immensely and I’m sorry the week has flown so fast…wanting to make something sweet for an afternoon coffee, one of my never fail quick apple cakes is this one. I can’t tell you where the original recipe has come from…it’s one of those family ones where I think everyone has a copy! Believe me you can rely on this one, it’s a sure thing!
The simple appeal of this design results from it’s use of different textures of foliage and coloured berries with the addition of ornamental pumpkins.The first for the changing season.
