TM Choc Mint Fudge

Here is the Choc Mint Fudge recipe that I made.  I found the recipe on the Thermomix recipe Community here  It turned out perfectly :) & tastes sooo good.


Ingredients

Choc-Mint Fudge
250 grams Dark Chocolate Bites 
250 grams Milk Chocolate Bites 
1 tin condensed milk 
1 tablespoon butter 
2 Peppermint Crisp Bars crushed

Preparation

Choc-Mint Fudge

1.
Add Dark Choc Bits, Milk Choc Bits, tin condensed milk and butter into Bowl
Cook at 100 degrees for 10 minutes on Speed 3
Scrape down sides then add the crushed Peppermint Crisp bars.  Stir thru on Reverse counter-clockwise operation for 5 seconds
Pour into a lined rectangle tray, leave to cool.  Then put into refrigerator to set.  Once set, cut into small bite-sized pieces.
This is a very sweet fudge - but delicious!  Would be a great gift.

Tip

You may wish to add an extra crushed Peppermint Crisp bar on top of the fudge - do this immediately after pouring into tin before it sets
Here is a photo of my fudge :) Enjoy


Christmas Baking

Well its that time of year for Christmas baking.  Since we are heading down the coast to visit family for Christmas I thought I would take some yummy treats with me.  My first Christmas with my Thermomix.  This machine has made making all these treats so much easier.

First up I made Rumballs... here's the recipe that I used.

8 Weet-bix
1 tin Condensed Milk
1 handful of Sultanas
2 tblespoons cocoa
50g Coconut (1/2 cup)
Rum to Taste
more coconut to roll 

1.  Place Weetbix into Thermomix bowl.  Crush (Speed 5 for 10 secs).  Add Coconut & coconut & mix.  Add Sultanas & mix (speed 5 for 10 secs).  Now add the condensed milk & mix well (speed 5 for 20 secs).  Add rum to taste & mix again to incorporate.

2.  Pick up small amount & roll into a ball (if you are finding the mixture sticks too much, wet your hands a little to help), roll ball into extra coconut.  Refrigerate.

*Note* If your mixture is too wet, just add some more weetbix.

Enjoy.
