Marshmallow Cake Pops

Cake Pops are all the rage at the moment. There are so many fancy designs you can do to suit your party theme. They can make great centre pieces to a table and can really impress. If you're new to making cake pops like I am and want to give something a go, these marshmallow pops are a good place to start. OK, technically they're not cakes, but they are on a lolly stick.

Ingredients:

Marshmallows (normal sized)

Sprinkles

Chocolate to melt

Lollipop sticks

Directions:

Place a lollipop stick into the bottom of each marshmallow

Melt the chocolate according to the directions on the bag. Flavour with extract if you like.

Easy Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

This is probably my favourite soup to make and eat, I particularly love to eat it on a cold Autumn evening. Growing up I never was a big fan of soups. Now that I'm an adult I realise that the reason was probably because I either like a stew with big chunks of meat and veg or a soup which has been blended. So this is the perfect soup for me and I've had others who aren't a fan of soup tell me they love this recipe and even go back for a second helping.

This recipe was passed to me from a friend who lives in Australia, she makes the soup with pumpkin instead of butternut squash. You can make it with either, but it is harder to get pumpkin in the UK unless it's Halloween time, so I always make it with the squash. This is such a simple recipe, you could make a big batch and freeze portions.
