My 52p recipe is the perfect dupe for viral M&S Chunked N' Loaded cookies – I reckon they taste even better
THEY'RE chunky, gooey, and wildly popular, but at £2 a pop, M&S's viral Chunked N' Loaded Cookies don't come cheap. To help fans recreate the indulgent flavours at home for a fraction of the price, Ann Cooper, who owns a family-run bakery called 4 Baker Ann Cooper has revealed her recipe for M&S Chunked N' Loaded cookie dupes Credit: SUPPLIED She created three affordable, bakery-style cookie recipes for She says: 'In order to successfully make this type of stuffed cookie, the filling needs to be frozen and then added to the cookie mix just before going into the oven. 'This process maintains the stability of the centre and stops it from melting into the cookie dough. Obviously, people could just add it to the dough, but it won't maintain a soft centre after cooking.' She adds that making them yourself can make them taste all the better. Read More on Food Ann adds: "Many people like to enjoy a sweet treat now and again and baking your own cookies can provide a sense of satisfaction and achievement." Scroll down for the recipes, the method is the same for all three cookies and can be found after the ingredients. Pistachio Cookie 4 (Makes 6 large cookies): 275g plain flour 115g unsalted butter 1 egg 175g light brown sugar ¼ tsp baking powder ⅓ tsp bicarbonate of soda 60g pistachio cream 100g white chocolate chips Chopped pistachios (small handful) Most read in Fabulous Chocolate & Hazelnut Cookie 4 (Makes 6 large cookies): 275g plain flour 1 tbsp cocoa powder (approx. 15g) 115g unsalted butter 1 egg 175g light brown sugar ¼ tsp baking powder ⅓ tsp bicarbonate of soda 60g Nutella 100g milk chocolate chips Chopped hazelnuts (small handful) The simple chocolate cake recipe using only TWO ingredients - it's sweet and you won't even need to put it in the oven Raspberry Cheesecake Cookie 4 (Makes 6 large cookies): 275g plain flour 115g unsalted butter 1 egg 175g light brown sugar ¼ tsp baking powder ⅓ tsp bicarbonate of soda 30g cream cheese 30g raspberry jam 100g white chocolate chips Method for all three cookies Freeze the filling (cheesecake mix, pistachio cream, or Nutella) in 10g blobs until solid (about 1 hour). Cream butter and sugar, then add the egg. Mix in dry ingredients. Combine by hand. Divide into 6 balls. Press a hole in the centre, insert the frozen filling, and seal the dough completely. Bake at 180°C (fan) on a preheated tray for 11–14 minutes, removing just before browning for a gooey centre. Let cool on the tray and enjoy - why not try adding some tasty toppings too?

Families locked in bitter row with church over building work at graveyard
Families who had to fight for their relatives' unmarked graves to be protected say they simply don't believe that there are no human remains within the area earmarked for expansion. Work has started to extend Milltown Cemetery, with the Catholic Diocese of Down and Connor promising that graves containing remains of thousands of infants will not impacted Siubhainin Ni Chutnneagam(sitting) and Toni Maguire have serious concerns over work at babies' graves in Milltown cemetery. Campaigner Ms Toni Maguire, a Archaeologist and Anthropologist has serious concerns about the resale of burial ground in Milltown, believed to be the final resting place of hundreds of babies. Work has started to extend Milltown Cemetery, with the Catholic Diocese of Down and Connor promising that graves containing remains of thousands of infants will not impacted Work has started to extend Milltown Cemetery, with the Catholic Diocese of Down and Connor promising the 'baby graves' section will remain intact and untouched. Siubhainin Ni Chutnneagam, has serious concerns over work being carried out close to the babies' graves in Milltown cemetery. The Catholic Church has betrayed families who were promised the Bog Meadows burials at a Belfast cemetery would never be disturbed, say campaigners. The Down and Connor diocese recently announced it had secured the future of the graveyard at Milltown Cemetery for the next 25 years by opening new plots. Families who had to fight for their relatives' unmarked graves to be protected say they simply don't believe that there are no human remains within the area earmarked for expansion. Forensic archaeologist Professor Toni Maguire played a key role in the six acres of Bog Meadows being returned to Church ownership in 2009 after it had been sold off to the Ulster Wildlife Trust. The sale sparked outrage as there are believed to be at least 11,000 people buried there, including infants who weren't baptised, adults who died by suicide and mass graves for the poor who couldn't afford a plot. Work has started to extend Milltown Cemetery, with the Catholic Diocese of Down and Connor promising that graves containing remains of thousands of infants will not impacted When the land was bought back, then Bishop Noel Treanor said the area was 'sacred ground' and would be untouched. But the Bog Meadows section of the cemetery is now set to be sold off as new graves after a review of Milltown's records and archaeological surveys, according to the diocese. However, Professor Maguire and some of the families say there are no records to review. Siubhainin Ni Chutnneagam, has serious concerns over work being carried out close to the babies' graves in Milltown cemetery. Today's News in 90 Seconds - July 19th 'Some of the old gravediggers who were there for 20 years told me they buried right out across that whole land but stopped making it regular graves and then there were just pits,' she says. 'They stopped recording in about 1986 because they were told no one is ever going to come looking for these babies. 'I have an affidavit from a man who grew up here who says you could have coffin-hopped from one end of it to the other.' She says human remains have already been disrespected. Siubhainin Ni Chutnneagam(sitting) and Toni Maguire have serious concerns over work at babies' graves in Milltown cemetery. While observing the massive earthworks in the Bog Meadows section of Milltown last year, Toni was present when a femur was unearthed. She was informed that it probably came from the clearing of poor graves further up the cemetery, which had been disinterred and dumped in the Bog Meadows in the 1970s. Toni also insisted that a car park was dug up when she discovered infant remains were underneath it. Many of the children were from Mother and Baby homes, which are now the subject of a public inquiry. 'Knowing all these burials were there they tarmacked over the top of it,' she said. 'When I came in and started looking I said, 'you are going to have to move this tarmac because the babies are underneath it. People are parking their car here when they're coming to look for their baby and I'm having to say 'the grave is where your car is parked'. That was 2009.' Bernadette Boyd sought Toni's help when she was looking for the remains of her sister Mary Ann Byrne, stillborn in 1961. Under the rules of the Catholic Church then she couldn't be buried in consecrated ground as she hadn't been baptised. In such circumstances families often buried their children in unmarked graves at the edge of the cemetery. 'Toni helped us find where she might be buried, but she could be six foot behind that, which is the area being dug up now,' says Bernadette. 'I can't understand how they can say there are definitely no remains there. When we started to look Milltown told us they couldn't help us as there were no records. 'Now they're saying the records are going to be digitised. Campaigner Ms Toni Maguire, a Archaeologist and Anthropologist has serious concerns about the resale of burial ground in Milltown, believed to be the final resting place of hundreds of babies. 'I think they know babies are buried there or they wouldn't keep saying they aren't. 'I'm confident there are human remains there, and mass graves as well.' She believes money is a motivating factor, as graves can be sold for up to £4,000. Belfast is also desperately short of space for graves, and in the 1980s it was reported that Milltown Cemetery was full. Campaigner Siubhainin Ní Chutnneagam has gone as far as the Vatican to plead the case for the Bog Meadows to be left alone. She says families like hers have been poorly treated by the diocese. 'They told families for years, like mine, your relatives are buried elsewhere and then by the time we discovered where our relatives were there they had sold 37 acres to the Ulster Wildlife Trust,' says 'There are thousands of remains of adults, children, all mass graves. Then rubbish was dumped on it for years when the Church sold it for landfill. There are still graves on some of this land. 'We know the majority of the remains are not on the spot where the grave is. I can't really tell because they have never produced a map.' Siubhainin knows that her great-grandfather is in a mass grave with 29 other remains, and her aunt and a cousin, who died as an infant are in a mass grave containing 429 remains. 'At the minute my relatives haven't been touched by the digger,' she says. 'At the start if they had just held their hands up when we discovered our families were in that land and said 'we're sorry we'll fix it all and put headstones up and leave it,' but it's all about the money.' Expert Toni says it's also not widely known that Milltown is a private cemetery where graves are leased, currently for 75 years. Alliance MLA Nuala McAllister, who believes three of her siblings are buried in unmarked graves in Milltown Cemetery, has introduced a Private Member's Bill calling for privately-run cemeteries to be subject to the same regulations as council-owned graveyards. Toni says she has concerns about her uncle's grave. 'My uncle is buried in one of the last graves in the old poor ground and I have real concerns that if they get away with this they are going to hit that next because every grave is worth up to £4,000 a time. 'Legally as the law stands today private cemetery status means any cemetery attached to any religious order has full control over who they bury, how they bury you, and what they do with your remains when your time is up.' In a statement, a spokesperson for the Diocese of Down and Connor says: 'The area now under development is part of a 6.3-acre site that was transferred back to diocesan ownership from Ulster Wildlife in 2009. 'Prior to any work beginning, three independent archaeological surveys and a review of burial records were carried out under licence from the Department for Communities. These confirm with certainty that no burials exist within the area now under development. All archaeological conditions have been fully met.'

The Original Defibrillator Unit was purchased and installed in March 2019, from community fundraising and Wexford County Council Enhancement Grant. It is a very important asset in the village and is checked regularly by Kilmore Community Responders. Many thanks. Annual Society of Saint Vincent de Paul summer collection The annual society of Saint Vincent de Paul (SVP) summer church gate collection takes place after Masses next weekend (July 19 and 20). Since this collection is a crucial part of their fundraising efforts to support individuals and families in need within the local community, your usual generous support would again be greatly appreciated.
