Desserts
Walnut and Honey Treats
These are quite unusual because normally I don't use honey (I am not that keen on honey). I find however that it fits perfectly with the sesame seeds.
Date and Prune Confectionery
Before you decide that these treats are for the "elderly" only (because of the prunes), give them a try and knock the socks off your dinner guests.
Chocolate and Almond Fudge
I haven't met a single person that does not love these treats. They are quick and easy to make and if you are expecting guests in two hours you can quickly make them.
Chocolate and Coconut Treats
These are very simple to make and no chopping is required, just melting and combining. These treats are excellent if you are expecting guests in one hour as they are so quick to prepare.
Chocolate and Pistachio Squares
Pistachios are good for your heart and can lower your bad cholesterol. They are also beautiful to look at with their bright green colour.
Sesame and Maple Syrup Treats
These are quick to make although they require some dexterity unless you use small cake moulds.
Middle Eastern Sesame Treats (Halvah)
There are several different varieties and even names for Halvahs, the healthy Middle Eastern treats.
Confectionery
These are healthy little treats, perfect for your afternoon sugar craving.
Christmas Confectionery
Confectionery might perhaps not be the right name to use because it usually indicates something unhealthy wrapped in foil, out of a box with a nice picture on the front.
Italian Chocolate and Almond Cookies
I love these little treats. They are also fairly healthy, packed with calcium and heart-healthy fats from the almonds.
