I used to LOVE Vienetta growing up. We’d have Friday night dinner at my grandparents, and then my grandma would wheel in her dessert trolley, and there would always be some sort of pie or crumble, a fruit salad and Vienetta. I still remember that lovely crack sound as it was cut and the knife cut through those wafer thin layers of chocolate. Chef’s kiss.

And with all such thjngs that I romanticise from my childhood, I decided to pass on that same feeling to my kids. As much as I love the mint chocolate Vienetta, I know that was a non-starter given that anything mint flavoured makes my kids exclaim ‘YUK! That tastes like toothpaste!’, so a ‘Snickers’ peanut butter version was my natural conclusion. Natural, quite literally as the ice cream is basically just bananas and peanut butter. With a little chocolate thrown in for that crunch.

I got big into yogurt bark recently and wanted to create something pretty and fun that looked cute so that kids would love it just as much as adults.

I’m not a fan of food colourings (I know when Buddy’s had them at a kids party or something because he’s even more bonkers than usual) but there are some seriously amazing natural colourings out there if you know what to look for.

My favourite breakfast ever is berries and yogurt (with some granola on top) as I just love the creamy smooth yogurt and the tart sweet berries together; it’s just so delicious I could eat it for every meal! Now that it’s summertime (as I write this) I’m experimenting with some delicious new lolly flavours to satisfy my sweet tooth while keeping me hydrated and cool at the same time too. I love how refreshing these are and how fancy they look with the yogurt and berries swirled together. They’re like a parfait in an ice lolly and I’m so here for it.

Snickers is my absolute favourite. I mean whoever thought to combine chunky peanuts with chocolate is a genius, as is the person who thought to freeze yogurt in a sheet and call it yogurt bark. Did you know I love yogurt too? I could just eat a whole sharing pot in one sitting (I mean sometimes I do) I love the lightness, creaminess and texture of it, and of course I love using it in desserts too.

I kept hearing about this stuff called ‘yogurt bark’ and it didn’t sound super appetising if I may say so. Then I realised what it was, nothing to do with trees at all and way more than JUST yogurt. This one not only tastes amazing, it’s super good for you, a lovely healthy snack (especially on a hot day) and it’s incredibly easy to make. Oh and have you seen the colour!
