Starting with something sweet for the first post of the new year with these chocolate cashew diamonds. These treats are not overtly sweet, nutty and melt in the mouth. And it’s not too hard to whip up a batch.
A new year!
Hope you have all had a great start to the new year! Wishing you all the very best in the days, weeks and months ahead.
Thank you!
The past year has been eventful for me. After a gap of a few years, I started to get back into the world of food blogging ( something that I first started way back in 2006 ) – a fresh new start with this new domain. As I have mentioned here, this is an entirely new domain as I unfortunately had a mishap with the first one and wasn’t able to pick up from where I left. It was quite daunting to start afresh. But I am so glad I took the leap. But with all of your support, I am so glad that I did take the leap. many thanks for all your support!
A huge thanks to all of you, both old and new readers who have supported this space; old readers and friends for your messages of support, and to all the new readers for visiting this website and leaving feedback when you’ve tried any recipe. I look forward to your continued support this year too and I hope to fill this space with more delectable recipes that you can recreate in your own kitchens.
Sharing an old favourite sweet treat to start off the new year. This also comes from the notebook. It is an easy recipe to whip up. I have given an idea for the topping, but they taste great even without. And by the way, the ‘diamond’ in the title just refers to the shape that I cut them in. you can cut them into whatever shape you wish- squares, rectangles etc.
