  • Mmm rum truffles were the first thing I ever cooked - I was 6. I can't remember the recipe. However I do know that within the recipe thread is a coconut ice recipe and peppermint creams. Absolutely delicious!!!

  • You can get rosewater in Boots (careful it doesn't run out of the lace holes :D)

    You are correct, vermicelli are little worms - but you can get little chocolate worms, you know! ;)

    Ok, this will probably happen on Friday. Or Saturday. If I get everything else done first, that is. :D
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.
  • :rotfl: I can tell you're new! Stick to spoons - I've got those! :rolleyes:



    I always thought vermicelli was a sort of pasta (lit. little worms)? Is it the posh name for chocolate sprinkles? :confused:
    I only said melon baller to give you an idea of the size of balls! :p

    I've never heard them called chocolate sprinkles. Maybe I is just posh! ;)

    Just imagining these massive melon sized truffles being produced! Bet there is a market for that though! (My daughter would be first in line.)


    With you here...it's vermicelli.......probably means wee worms in Italian! :eek:

    Good luck Mr BE. Can't wait to see how you get on.

    I have a recipe! :j

    Extremely simple and I have made a batch every year for Christmas since I was old enough to cook!

    200g dark chocolate
    1 tin of condensed milk
    1-2 tsp of vanilla flavouring/extract

    Melt the chocolate, stir into the condesed milk, add the vanilla and pour into a shallow dish (approx 7" x 9") which you have lined with cling film and chill in the fridge until set. It should make 30+ pieces.

    Its a bit like a cross between fudge and truffles. Very yummy. I guess you could add rum, but I've never tried...

    I can't remember the Dutch word for them, but it translates to English as mouse droppings!

  • Anyone who calls chocolate vermicelli mouse droppings has obviously never seen fresh cardomom :D

    The Dutch word is "Hagel" or "hagelslag" pronounced Ha-Hul. ;) Mmmmm!!!
