New Instagram Addiction

Hello Lovelies!

Ok I have to admit it, I'm addicted. And they say the first step it admitting it so I've taken it.

It all started when I got an iPhone for Christmas. At first I was reluctant to get Instagram because I knew me being me I'd instantly become hooked. And of course I was right.

Feel free to follow me, my name is fazed_and_dazed and I make an effort to post good photos everyday. Here's a taste of my amateur Instagramin'
















Hope you are all enjoying the last of the holidays and making the most of your remaining days of freedom.

Thanks for reading,

Toffee Crisp Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today I'm giving you all a break from Fashion Week posts and I've decided to treat you to a yummy cookie recipe. Lately school and study work have been really heavy going so my friend and I wanted to drown our emotions in chocolate and cookie goodness and here's what we came up with.

Here's what you need;
2 Packets of Betty Crocker's Chocolate Chip Cookie mix
7 Pack of snack size Toffee Crisps
1 Tub of Betty Crocker's Chocolate Frosting
Water
Fudge Chunks

First of all you need to pre-heat the oven to 170 degrees Celcius and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. 
Next you need to add tablespoons of water to a mixing bowl of the cookie mix while stirring at the same time.

 Keep adding water and stirring until it looks like this and is slightly sticky.

 

 Cut up the snack size toffee crisp bars into thirds about an inch thick and pad on a layer of the mix.

When you're finished the cookie balls should look like this.

Pop them into the oven for 17 minutes and let them cool for 5-10 minutes or else they'll be too gooey in the middle. When they're cooled you can frost them with chocolate deliciousness and fudge chunks and after that tuck in!

They are just perfect for a late night of movies and a cup o' tea.
Hope you enjoyed and will try them out.
Thanks for reading,

Slutty Chocolate Brownies

I just came to say, Hello!
So now that I'm searching for new things to blog about I have taken to going through older photos from the beginning of the Summer and I came across some from when my friend and I took on the challenge of being kick ass bakers. We got the lovely idea of baking gorgeous chocolate brownies with a recipe we got from another blog called The Londoner. It's such a brilliant blog which is written by the beautiful Rosie so check it out! But continuing on with our baking adventures here's the recipe:

Betty Crocker's Chocolate Brownie Mix
Betty Crocker's Chocolate Chip Mix
Betty Crocker's Chocolate Cake Paste
Water
4 Eggs (The amount of eggs will vary depending on what mixes you use so check the box)
2 packets of Oreos 
Love and Care
Butter ( for greasing up that baking dish!)


So what we did was make up the cookie mix first and lay it down as the first layer in the baking dish and then continued to place out the next layer which were the oreos. Two packets should leave a few left over which we snacked on to keep our energy up.

 Next make up the brownie mix and pour it all over the oreos making sure to cover all the little spaces and corners.

Leave in the oven at about 190 Degrees Centigrade for 35- 40 minutes and if you can resist temptation for long enough, leave to cool.

If you want to make these brownies extra slutty (which we did) you can paste on some delicious Betty Crocker's Chocolate Cake Paste.

Simply scrumptious!!

I have to say one brownie would have sufficed for the evening but my complete lack of will power urged me on to have a second. They were just too good to resist. Thanks to Rosie and her blog The Londoner for providing my friend and I with this great recipe and thank you for reading.
More soon,
Ciara.
