Toblerones have a certain mystique about them, don't they?

Only ever really seen in airports, gargantuan in size, oddly shaped and often given as a cursory last minute secret Santa gift to a work colleague you don't know very well, Toblerones are the hipster's chocolate bar.

They are also, of course, delicious. Perhaps it's the novelty of the thing. You can get a dairy milk every day of the week and twice on a Sunday, but you really have to make the effort to sniff out a Toblerone.

You might have mused to yourself, while chowing down on a bar, that the Toblerone isn't exactly the most versatile of confections. It would be hard to mould a bar of Toblerone into, say, a cupcake, wouldn't it? Well, apparently not.

But if you're a fellow Toblerone lover wishing there were even more ways to enjoy the bar, then stop right here, because I've got some important news for you.

That's right; you can now buy Toblerone lava cakes topped with a melted version of the much-loved candy bar. The @CandyHunting Instagram account was first to post about the exciting news, writing;

"New Toblerone Lava Cakes are out now!! Huge thanks to @aimras25 for the picture! She found the lava cakes at Shaw's."

It's not clear if the cakes are available elsewhere.

The treat comes in a box of two as you can see above, and are described as "soft centred lava cakes, topped with melted Toblerone". The box also advises that the cakes should be kept frozen, so presumably should be stored in the freezer.

These could be the perfect winter treat to enjoy this Christmas round a roaring fire, or as a reward for finishing wrapping the hundreds of presents you'll doubtless be giving friends and relatives this festive season.

If you've been anywhere on the internet during lockdown, chances are that you'll have encountered a delicious Biscoff recipe that you can make from the comfort of your own home.

Now, people are creating the gooey masterpieces that are Biscoff Blondies, and as ever, it's something you can easily do at home too.

Blondies are rich, sweet dessert bars that are similar to chocolate brownies, but the difference is that the cocoa in brownies is substituted out for white chocolate.

And to turn them into Biscoff Blondies, all you have to do is chuck in the caramelized deliciousness that is biscoff. It's the homemade dessert that you didn't know you'd want well... yesterday.

However, if you're looking for a Biscoff Blondie recipe that will go easy on your waistline, we recommend @clarecooksfood's version, which are super soft and squidgy thanks to the addition of sweet potato, and they won't be breaking your diet at just under 100 calories a piece!

This is what you need to make 12:

120g Biscoff Crunchy Spread

2-3 sweet potatoes (to make 300g sweet potato mash)
2 tablespoons coconut flour (or any flour!)
40g white chocolate
1 tsp baking powder

Once you've got your ingredients, all you have to do next is follow this simple step-by-step method.

1. Microwave the sweet potatoes for six minutes and turn them after three so that they are soft baked.

2. Scoop out the insides of your sweet potatoes and mash them down. Don't include your skins.

3. Mix your mashed sweet potato, Biscoff spread, flour and baking powder.

4. Chop up the white chocolate and crumble a couple of Biscoff biscuits before adding them to the blondie mix.

5. Spread your mix into a lined baking tin and cook at 180C for half an hour.

6. After your mix is cooked, press broken Biscoff biscuits into the soft blondies. Then leave your blondies to cool for half an hour before cutting them up.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to make a batch of Biscoff Blondies.

Nutella is arguably one of the greatest spreads in existence. In fact, it's so good that if you're anything like me, chances are that you've eaten it straight from the jar (no judgments here).

Personally, there's no better way to start the day than a slice of Nutella and banana on toast. It can make even the hardest of days seem that bit more bearable and yes, that still applies in 2020.

Now, a jar of white chocolate Nutella has been posted on Instagram by Australian food blogger Bruce Super Convenience.

[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CFVdzXNBulL/]]

However, despite what this picture suggests, this is not actually an official Nutella product... yet.

The blogger captioned the snap: "Let's just take a moment to look at this picture, and appreciate this unicorn of a snack.

"This blessed jar was sent to me by @thesnackcontroller - and I need to thank his/her/their beautiful soul for creating this thing of beauty, and sending me one."

"This jar, with that logo so famous, is found on shelves ALL over the world... but alas, it's always a dark brown color... milk chocolate flavor. This one has a white - slightly golden - color, and even look at the toast in the picture, it has a white spread on it! Ok, I'm going to be bombarded with messages and DM's [sic], so let me answer right now - no, this is not a real product, and no, you cannot buy your body's weight of this product!"

Thankfully, Bruce did give an insight into what this "unicorn of a snack" tastes like.

He wrote: "The spread smells like a Kinder dream, and it tastes even better... It has the familiarity of a Kinder product, with a strong hazelnut influence, and creamy white-milk-chocolate (can that be a thing?!)."

Needless to say, the comments section of Bruce's post was filled with people hoping that white chocolate Nutella is a thing.

One wrote: "my brain cant handle but it's beautiful [sic]."

A second wrote alongside a drooling emoji: "I'm down."

Meanwhile, a third wrote a sentiment that we can all agree with: "This is a dream come true."

So, if the makers of Nutella are reading this article, please give the people what they want and make white chocolate Nutella a thing.

A mom has taken to social media to share her brilliantly simple chocolate chip and Nutella cheesecake recipe.

Posting in the Facebook group Crockpot/Slow Cooker Recipes & Tips Leanne Short shared her recipe, and it's so easy that you'll be wondering why you never thought of it before - especially during lockdown!

Check out this recipe for Twisted's giant apple crumble cheesecake: 

[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/fBttrViS-dkXnENEs.mp4||fBttrViS]]

Pictured below is the finished creation, and as we're sure you'll agree, it looks absolutely delicious.

She captioned the post: "I had a go at a cheesecake today, this is the recipe I used.

"I had to adjust it for my small slow cooker, if doing it in a large one, you may want to double the mix and cook for longer."

[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CAR9uIbFFeP/]]

This is the exact list of ingredients that you'll need to make the cheesecake:

• 120g biscuits
• 80g melted butter
• 250g cream cheese
• 100ml sour cream
• 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon plain flour
• 1 tbs cornflour
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Chocolate chunks and Nutella

The recipe involves creating a biscuit base from the biscuit and melted butter and mixing and pouring the remaining ingredients on top. It must then be cooked on a low setting in a slow cooker for four to five hours.

After, let the cake chill for three hours in the fridge, and it will be ready to serve. It really is, well, a piece of cake!

While Short used chocolate to flavor her cheesecake, as you'll tell from the recipe, it can be altered slightly to allow a variety of ingredients like orange zest and blueberries.

Needless to say, members of the Facebook group where Short shared the recipe were impressed.

One wrote: "Yet another thing I NEVER knew that one could make in a slow cooker!"

A second added: "Omg someone pass be a massive spoon"

Meanwhile, a third simply remarked: "Looks delicious."

If you'd like to keep up with Leanne's cooking, you can follow her creations on Instagram here.

Earlier this year, I vowed to myself that I would improve my cookery skills.

I am not an accomplished chef. Indeed, most Instagram recipe videos are enough to send me into a frenzy of stress, confusion and inevitable despair.

This is because I have neither the organisational nor the technical skills required to cook well. I also have no patience.

In short, I'm something of a lost cause and, as such, have resigned myself to the same three dinners on a revolving door policy for several years now.

Clearly, this can't go on forever. My mealtimes have begun to resemble something akin to groundhog day and I am constantly on the lookout for simple recipes that even I, cack-handed as I am, can pull off.

To be honest, I looked on green with envy and wide-eyed awe as everyone started baking sourdough loaves and banana breads during lockdown. Reader, I did not attempt to follow suit, knowing as I did that the result would most likely be a plume of smoke and a charred baking tray.

Yet a new three-ingredient recipe shared by a mom for chocolate mousse looks to be so simple and delicious that I am sorely tempted to give it a go.

Yes, TikToker @mama_mila_ says that the recipe takes just 30 seconds to whip up, though you will need to do some overnight prep to get your ingredients in order.

[[tiktokwidget||https://www.tiktok.com/@mama_mila_/video/6852955199494016261]]

According to the TikTok video, you'll need to place a can of coconut milk in the fridge overnight, to allow the cream to separate from the water.

From there, she scoops out the thick cream, add half a cup of icing sugar and a tablespoon of of cocoa powder. After that, it's simply a case of whisking everything together (you'll likely need an electric whisk for this) and enjoying the delicious mousse.

As Mila herself describes it, the perfect Friday night treat!
