Easter Brownies!

 Serves 12

Ingredients:

150g Self Raising Flour

180g Butter

300g Sugar

1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

3 Eggs

1 Tablespoon of Cocoa Powder

80g Milk Chocolate

80g White Chocolate

Mini Eggs for Decoration

Icing sugar for some dusting

Method:

Pre heat the oven to 170ºC.

Melt the butter in a pan on a gentle heat, before it has fully melted add in the sugar.

Mix the flour and vanilla essence, then add the eggs and cocoa powder.

We melted the chocolate in the microwave, we put it on for 30 seconds and kept checking it until it melted.

The stir in the chocolate to the mixture.

We wanted a few chocolate chips in with the mixture too, so we chopped up some chocolate and added a couple of chunks.

Grease a baking tin, then pour the mixture in.

Then bake for 30 to 40 minutes. To check if ready, pearce the brownie in the center. If there's no mixture on the knife, that will mean it is ready.

Hope you enjoy making it as much as we did. They were very tasty!

Teeth Whitening Review!

Hi Guys,

I have been looking at reviews on teeth whitening products and I was so unsure.
 I noticed how white a family members were, I asked her she told me that it was Crest and she really recommended it. I would never had invested if our family member hadn't recommended it to me (it isn't the cheapest).

I tested the Crest 3D whitening strips and I am really impressed!

Here are my results...

The top is before and bottom is after:

There is quite a huge difference, I didn't realize how yellow my teeth were! I feel quite disgusted and embarrassed with how bad they were.

I started seeing results on the fourth day and in total (to achieve these results) I used seven days worth. I still have another seven left to use. The instructions say leave it on for thirty minutes, but I left it on for an hour, so that might be why i have achieved this result in such little time.
 I did read a lot of reviews saying that they made their teeth sensitive, but I already have sensitive teeth, so I wouldn't be able to tell.

My plan is to keep up with a whitening toothpaste and when I feel that they're not as white I'll do another strip!

In all I would definitely recommend these strips, I bought mine from this website: Crest 3D White

I hope this helps a little, as I could've done with reading a short, simple and non-sponsored review.
