You don’t have to be a professional chef to have these in your fridge whenever you’d like. All the ingredients are super easy to find and you can even play around with the measurements or add any other little treats you’d like. We recommend marshmallows, M&Ms or Rice Krispies, but they’re also delicious just the way they’re intended.

Ingredients:

• 7 ounces dark chocolate
• 3.5 ounces milk chocolate
• 8.8 ounces salted peanuts
• 4.4 ounces unsalted butter
• 3 Tablespoons golden syrup
• 8 x 40-gram Crunchie bars (or any honeycomb chocolate)

Instructions:

1. Break the chocolate pieces into a medium pot and add the golden syrup and butter. Melt everything together gently on a low heat.
2. Crush the Crunchie or honeycomb chocolate into smaller chunks and add to a large bowl with the peanuts.
3. Once the chocolate mixture is fully melted, take it off the heat and pour all over the peanut mixture, stirring until it’s all combined.
4. Pour the mixture into a lined baking sheet, smoothing the mixture into all four corners.
5. Sprinkle some extra peanuts and honeycomb over the top, if you’d like, and set in the fridge for at least two hours, or until it’s set.
6. Cut into as many pieces as you’d like. It’s pretty sweet and dense, so we’d recommend smaller pieces.
7. Share with friends—or keep all for yourself. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• 1 tablespoon milk
• ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Olive oil
• Salt
• Black pepper

Instructions:

1. Start off with a frying pan and a little bit of olive oil. Place the pan on medium heat on the stove.
2. Next, you’ll want to break the eggs into the pan and whisk them together thoroughly, being sure to fully mix the egg whites with the yolks.
3. After you’ve done this, add the milk to the blended eggs and whisk together thoroughly. The milk will add an extra creaminess to the texture of the scrambled eggs!
4. Finally, add the cheese, stir together, and wait for the eggs to become slightly fluffy. Move and mix the eggs to be sure that they don’t burn and that they are cooked evenly.
5. Take the scrambled eggs out, place them on a plate, and add salt and black pepper to taste. Enjoy!

Nearly any type of fruit can be dried, meaning that you can choose to make whichever dried fruit you like the most. And contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a hot, sunny day or a commercial food dehydrator in order to make it!

Here is your guide to making dried fruit at home using only a conventional oven.

Instructions:

1. Start off by preheating your oven to a very low temperature, around 170 or 175 degrees. 
2. Next, you’ll want to slice the fruit that you want to try, assuming that it comes from a larger fruit like a peach or an apple. If it’s a berry or a small fruit like blueberries or grapes, you can leave it whole.
3. Arrange the slices or fruits on a baking sheet, without allowing them to touch each other. Place the sheet in the oven and leave your oven’s door open, ever so slightly.
4. Flip the fruit every 30 minutes, and monitor its drying process. This can take anywhere between 3 to 8 hours depending on how thick the slices are and how much water is contained in the fruit.
5. Once finished, allow the fruit to “rest” overnight before packaging or eating it. Enjoy!

Have you ever been curious about how to make tuna salad in the comfort of your own kitchen? Here’s how to do it without spending much money or time on the whole thing.

Ingredients

• One can (5 oz) tuna

Pan Tumaca, a classic Spanish breakfast dish that is served in homes and cafeterias throughout the country, is easy to prepare, savory, and delicious. Let’s learn how to make it!

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of fresh bread
• 1 tomato
• 1.5 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 garlic clove
