Savoury and sweet twists to get you through lockdown

Let’s face it we all need a little bit of a treat in lockdown. So when our WEEC cook Kalpna heard our preschool children were creating some ‘Krispy Treats’ for their friends in the home corner, she decided to turn their ideas into reality. Together they have come up with two tasty treats.

First up is the Krispy Twist – which has a lovely savoury filling complete with prosciutto and parmesan. Next, we have the Krispy Heart filled with healthy sweet ingredients such as cinnamon and coconut. The children at our service, can’t wait to make these two new treats together with their friends in the home corner.
