Somehow I thought that might be the answer. But there will only be 3 of us on Boxing Day. I usually do a trifle and even that doesn't get finished.

My go to sharing dessert is the carnation millionaires shortbread recipe. Its posh because its millionaires short bread right? I use ginger biscuits instead of shortbread though.

Homemade Toffee Crisp

Rice Krispies coated in
salted caramel homemade made with double cream, golden syrup, sugar and butter. coated in lindt milk chocolate melted with butter. Addictive, substantial and bloody sinful.

One in the face for all those boring Health Police who can round on me for fat, sugar etc.
If one is going to sin do it properly.
A homemade carrot cake?
or homemade fruit cake just soak fruit in tea or alcohol and make a four by four
butter eggs sugar flour add orange zest and juice for twang.

Homemade with butter sugar eggs and flour way to go preferably organic.

If you nail taste you can get away with cheaper luxury.

The ginger and pear trifle sounds delicious.

One I do for a crowd but more so for buff st a is a pack of toffee popcorn and white, milk and plain chocolate or a combination of them.
I use large bag of popcorn and about 2-3 bars of cooking chocolate.r
Melt the chocolate separately and on a rectangular dish spread about two thirds of the chocolate and swirl the colours together. Pour over the bag of popcorn and then drizzle treat of chocolate over.
Put in fridge to set.
Very easy and very popular. I made it for most birthdays of my son's A level economics class.

Rum by Gum..


Get a chocolate swiss roll, and cut into slices. Arrange across the bottom of a wide flat serving dish. Mix a couple of tablespoons of coffee with a couple of tablespoons of rum ( or rum flavouring if you want a non-alcoholic version), and use it to moisten the swiss roll with, allowing time for it to soak in. Make up some chocolate Angel delight/similar, and spread it across the top of the swiss roll. Whip up some double cream and spread this across the chocolate mousse. The cream can be decorated with grated chocolate/chocolate sugar strands/cream stars, etc etc.

Very, very easy, but impressive enough for dinner parties, when it was always very popular - my mum used to receive requests to make it!
It probably has some posh name, but it was always known as Rum by Gum in our house.

B & M do really cheap marshmallows often 25p to make it even cheaper. Enjoy!

Bread and butter pudding made with Panettone - nice and festive, and uses up any Panettone you might have received!
If you spread some dulce de leche/ Carnation caramel onto the bread it takes it up another notch but is very sweet.
