We have always provided a little welcome treat for guest to enjoy on arrival with a cuppa in their room. Because we like to make everyone welcome, it was important to find a recipe that could be enjoyed by all guests. Many a batch has been mixed, baked and trialled to find the perfect combination of chewy and crunchy, tasty and wholesome. I think this one is the best yet, but we are always learning. so give it a try and let me know your thoughts and any adaptations.
