Oh my, oh my! This is one of my all time favourite recipes because it’s so delicious and also so super easy kids can try it (almost) by themselves. I’ve written before about what kids learn while baking and this recipe is a good one to get them started. They can read the recipe, weigh and measure the ingredients and learn lots of kitchen skills as they cook. There’s no baking involved, just some melting, so with supervision they can join in every step.
We call it Loopy Cake, a name inherited from a family friend who gave us the original recipe. Perhaps because once people have tasted it and discovered how yummy it is, they will drive you loopy pestering you to make some more. I have a vague memory of my mum making us all wait until there were enough broken biscuit crumbs in the bottom of our cookie jar before she would make it – but surely she wasn’t really that mean?
Most people I know call it Rocky Road – and everyone I know loves it. Here’s how to make it.

Love is in the air this week and we are embracing the idea that the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach with some fun ideas for Valentine food for kids. All of them are easy for the children to make, super cute and very yummy.
What’s the best thing to eat when you want a fun treat on a winter’s day? An ice cream snowman of course!
This article is one of our easy Christmas recipes for children and part of our Christmas activities and crafts for children.
Inspired by a photo on Pinterest that was originally featured on foodcreate, we used a simplified version of an ice cream snowman so the children could all make their own. This was our pudding on Christmas day and the children loved making and eating them. Here’s how to make one:
Two or three scoops of vanilla ice cream make a snowman body – and if you run your ice cream scoop under water first you’ll find it a lot easier to get the ice cream off your spoon in a great snowball shape.
Chocolate Matchsticks are just right for stick arms.
Tiny chocolate chips are perfect for eyes, mouths and buttons and easy for little fingers to pop in place. And an orange jelly bean is just thing for a carrot nose.
And that’s your ice cream snowman finished and ready to eat – cool!
Let’s make this winter the year when we delight in the cold and the dark.
Gather your children, get cosy, and make memories and connections together.
I’ll show you how with this guide to a cosy and connected winter:
