We spent our honeymoon exploring Scandinavia. We loved Denmark, Sweden and Norway and hope we can go back one day.

Super simple Tunnocks Caramel Wafer painted rocks

Posted on July 10, 2019 by jenny

My obsession with Tunnock’s Caramel Wafers started years ago when I first went to the University of St Andrews. I spent the best 5 years of my life there, especially when I discovered there was a student society dedicated to Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer. I quickly discovered the joy of Tunnock’s Tea Cakes and the other…
