The ones I am sharing with you today are all very quick and simple to make but taste amazing and look pretty damn impressive on display. It also helps that when you’re making them they fill the house with amazing christmassy smells (especially when the blondies are baking in the oven – oh my goodness its heaven!). All three recipes are made using Eat Real Today products. They have such an extensive selection of products and are the very best in terms of quality and sustainable sourcing. You can check out their range on their website!
