This recipe is a well loved festive recipe in the Farrington’s house as it was created by Eli’s mother. These perfectly portioned treats are brilliant to have ready for when friends and family pop round during the Christmas period. With pockets of marzipan, cherries and raisins, these are sure to go down well with a hot drink and bit of Christmas cheer!
