Whether you’re enjoying a back garden bonfire, hosting a full-on feast, or watching a firework display, this collection of recipes is sure to take your Bonfire Night celebrations to the next level.
Winter Nights Chilli
Cooked for six hours, this warmly spiced chilli is packed with melt-in-the mouth pork and beef, as well as peppers, squash, and beans. A fresh apple and red onion salsa provides a pleasing contrast to this hearty winter warmer.
Mary Berry’s Smoky Firecracker Chicken Drumsticks
The perfect, fuss-free snack to eat round the bonfire, these chicken drumsticks are flavoured with sweet, smoky paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and maple syrup.
Mary Berry’s Posh Jacket Potatoes
Looking for something to eat alongside Mary’s smoky chicken drumsticks? Try these spruced up jacket potatoes. With four different kinds of topping to choose from, this recipe is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Slow-cooked Chicken with a Crisp Corn Crust
Ottolenghi’s meltingly tender, slow-cooked chicken is flavoured with rose harissa, jarred red peppers, and smoky paprika, and cooked with an irresistibly crisp corn crust. This is cosy bowl food at its very finest.
Cinder Toffee Biscuits
A riff on the Bonfire Night classic, these cinder toffee biscuits are topped with melted chocolate and crushed honeycomb pieces.
Bonfire Brownies
Studded with pecan nuts, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips, these squidgy brownies will satisfy your sweet tooth.
Toffee Apple Crumble
A thick slice of this streusel-topped, caramel-drenched apple pie is just the thing to eat with a hot cup of tea as you watch the fireworks go off.
Jane’s Patisserie’s S’mores Muffins
It wouldn’t be Bonfire Night without some toasted marshmallows and Jane’s Patisserie’s s’mores muffins are just the ticket.
Apple and Spice Vin Chaud
Keep those hands warm with a cup of apple and spice vin chaud, infused with cinnamon and star anise.
