Apologies that today's blog post is late. I had a helper here at Struan Farm this weekend, recruited to assist with the baking for our annual family Boxing Day celebration.
We made some serious progress: cream cheese Christmas cookies, two batches of chocolate chip cookies, That 70's Slice, Chewy Fudge Brownies, and Nadia Lim's Caramel Coffee Walnut Slice.
The challenge occurred trying to melt white chocolate in the microwave for our White Chocolate Rocky Road. Despite zapping just 30 seconds at a time, I managed to burn two batches of chocolate! Not sure why, perhaps we were at the end of the shelf life. So we're regrouping with new chocolate this week for that.
Otherwise only one more batch of brownies to make. With a huge bowl of Piopio Berry Orchard strawberries, blueberries and raspberries served with whip cream, the dessert table will be ready to rock and roll. We don't go too far overboard, do we?
