we should cocoa challenge Archives -

Wow..where did the last month go to?? I cannot quite believe that Christmas is all done and dusted and today is New Years EVE!!

Over the past few weeks I have indulged in my fair share of chocolate inspired treats. My favourite this month has been this After Eight cocktail I shared recently.

I have really enjoyed hosting this months We Should Cocoa link and luckily lots of my fellow bloggers have been busy this month creating some fabulously festive chocolately treats. So here I am to share them with you.. I warn you that you will feel extremely hungry by the time you get to the end!

Lets go..

These Brown Butter Choc Chip Cookies have the addition of rosemary which I love in sweet recipes.

How pretty are these Christmas Pudding Macarons from Emily? Almost too pretty to eat…almost.

I bet these Peppermint Toffee would make a lovely homemade gift.

I do enjoy rocky road and this festive twist sounds great. Candy Cane Rocky Road

Lucy has some amazing slow cooker recipes on her blog, amongst them is this delicious Slow Cooker Candy Cane Fudge

I have never tried making a cascade cake but I love the effect of this. A Real Showstopper Cake

Oh I am sure my many Nutella inspired recipes would taste even better with this homemade version.Vegan Nutella

Chocolate Carrot Cake??? This looks awesome. I will definitely be trying this one.Christmas Chocolate Carrot Cake

These are so cute. I love anything which contains clementines. Raw Chocolate & Clementine Cheesecakes

Anyone else have a cupboard full of half drunk flavoured irish creams? It can’t just be me surely. I think some of it needs to go into one of these Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake Trifles

I wish I had seen this recipe before Christmas. Although I am sure I could find an excuse to mix up a batch anytime! Christmas Butter Biscuits

It’s not a properly festive dinner table without a Christmas Yule Log

These Chocolate Covered Marzipan Stars look delicious!

Oh I do love a chocolate and pretzel combo! Candy Cane & Pretzel Fudge

I normally consume an unhealthy amount of Chocolate Orange so this is calling to me…..Chocolate Orange Cheesecake

And thats that for the Christmas roundup of We Should Cocoa. Thanks to the lovely Choclette from Tin and Thyme, to find out who is hosting next month and what the theme is check out the We Should Cocoa page here.

This month I’ve kindly been asked by Choclette from Tin & Thyme to host her popular We Should Cocoa Challenge. If you aren’t familiar with the challenge here’s a little info about it:

You can use any sort of chocolate or cocoa substance but you must include the special ingredient or theme selected by the host – this month it is CHRISTMAS!! It can be anything you like, a cake or a sweet, a pudding or a savoury dish.

Perhaps you are planning a stunning Chocolate Cake as a centrepiece on your dinner table or maybe you will be making chocolate gifts to give as Christmas presents? Like these Bounty bites:
