What's in the Cooking Buddies Christmas Special?
As Buddy and Conker decorate their kitchen den for Christmas, they get a call from Meesha Garbett - a two-time World Champion street dancer. Meesha needs Buddy’s help with a dessert that she can make for her family this Christmas, and she will give him a street dance lesson in return!
Time to make: rocky roads! Set in a round bowl with melted white chocolate looking like the cream on top, it’s a real Christmas pudding show-stopper, with options to make it your own!
Meesha teaches Buddy a special street dance routine that will get us all rocking around the Christmas tree this Christmas!
