Mars bar cheesecake... or cheesecake heaven!

Image
Since my mom came to Angola and stayed for about three weeks, her visit was centered around two things, Karim, my son, and food! As if we were starving before she came :)) And since she's a pro in all things sweets, chocolaty and packed with fat, am sharing with you the recipe of this cheesecake we made together before she left. I will not babble a lot about how yummy, decadent and scrumptious it is, I will let you look at the pictures and save the recipe and try it out! If you do not have Mars bars on hand, try it out with twix bars or even snickers bars, you can even mix all three bars together, Heaven on a dish! Recipe from http://aww.ninemsn.com/food/8376077/mars-bars-cheesecake INGREDIENTS 310g chocolate chip biscuits (I used digestive biscuits) 75g butter, melted 2 tablespoons brown sugar 20g butter, extra 11/2 cups (375ml) cream 11/2 teaspoons gelatine 1/4 cup (60ml) water 500g cream cheese, chopped, softened 1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar 2 x 53g Mars Bar

Personalized DIY toddler puzzle!

A perfect way to learn face distinction and parts of the body, this puzzle only involved the parts of the face because the pictures I had were two portraits of me and my hubby. It was so much fun to watch my son try to put mommy's eyes and nose and mouth together to form the picture. The thing that was even funnier was how much he got mad when we were playing with the puzzle and I tried to put my eyes on daddy's nose :) "No that's daddy nose!". Try it out with old pictures you have, (I had two copies of these portraits) or if you don't want to cut your pictures go through your magazines and cut faces from there. Then take pieces of magnetic and place one of each piece of picture puzzle! Just give them a cookie sheet or even let them stand on the fridge and put the pieces of your face back together.
