These muffins are gorgeous... Raspberry & Coconut muffins. And the other day I made some lemon & poppy seed ones by just altering the ingredients from that recipe.

angel nikki s cheese buscuits
twinks hob-nobs
and rainbow fairy cakes(just normal fairy cakes with sugar strands stirred into the mix as their cooked they melt and leave the colours through the cake
(no wonder im putting weight on lol)

trying-very-trying

Nick I found it on Google. It's basically just melt the mars bars,(as I said I use aldi's own) I think I use about 3, it depends how much rice crispies I've got, with some margarine. When it's fully melted remove the pot from the heat and add in some chopped up marshmallows, I like the pink&white ones, then mix in the rice crispies. Pour this lot into a baking tray and bung it in the fridge to set, then cut into squares. When I've managed to keep the chocolate hidden from the rest of the family, I melt some (value) chocolate and pour this over the top, leaving it to set before cutting it all up.

It's not really a tray bake, because there's no "baking" involved. The marshmallows do make it nice and chewy though.

Banoffee pie mini muffins. Really soft and moist and last for days (theoretically)

I use a basic oaty tray bake recipe and then chuck different things in, depending on the cupboards/my mood... nuts, stem ginger, coconut, dried fruit, peel, seeds, ground almonds, corn flakes/bran flakes/rice krispies... etc... I like tray bakes

i love traybakes too! PLEASE can i have a recipe for your basic oaty tray bake as i've lost mine, and having not made it for ages (before i realised i'd lost it! IYSWIM) i'd love to make these type of things again!

i quite often make a basic victoria sponge mix and then stir in melted chocolate/coconut (& glace cherries)/sultanas or dried fruit with mixed spice/ground almonds with fresh strawberries/rasps/plums etc etc on the top .... and then put in traybake tin and cook! yumyum

i also make a basic sugar biscuit or gingerbread, rolled out quite thin and cut into shapes using cutters (i have a large assortment of kids cutters!) the children love these, sometimes i ice them, or to make it really easy, as i do the last few 'rolling out' bit, i sprinkle some 00's & 000's or sugar strands on, and then bake ... they don't need decorating!

I like baking cakes (marble, Victoria sponge and raisin and cinnamon), pear and berry crumble, Swiss shortcakes (from bero website) and flapjacks. Sometimes when running low on bread at weekends I'll make scones for breakfast before BF wakes up. I normally bake on the weekends and this week I did crumble.

I make weetabix loaf as DH loves it in his lunchbox. I also make Twinks hobnobs but I'm not sure they save me money as they get eaten so quick. lol

I tend to bake whatever I'm asked for as I'm not a cake lover myself.I find the things my OH likes are simple things like victoria sandwich,rock buns coconut haystacks and macaroons things like that.Whereas my daughter's who never bake will ring me and request things like carrot cakes,muffins and coffee cake.I'm one of those people though who like to try different things so I don't realy stick to the same things all the time.
I'm intriqued by this weetabix loaf,what's this?.

I mainly make, basic buns, butterfly and marble buns, a number of different cakes (coffee, chocolate), cheese or fruit scones and cheese straws. (The cheese straws never last very long) :rolleyes:

I don't bake very often for the house as there is only me and OH and neither of us eat much sweet stuff. When I do I tend to make the same few things:

Ginger loaf cake
Lemon or blueberry muffins
Coffee fairy cakes
Plum crumble
Millionaires shortbread (expensive)
Key lime pie
Banoffee pie

I just got a new traybake tin from Lakeland so I am on the lookout for some good recipes, I know there is a thread somewhere so I will have to root through the index.

I have recently tried making scones but they didn't rise and apple and blackberry loaf which didn't cook in the middle, both because my oven has such severe hot spots nothing bakes evenly. If I put a tray of 12 muffins in, the back left and right 2 are burned before the front ones have finished rising so I now have to make them in 6 or 8's.
