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 )

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.

I always thought vermicelli was a sort of pasta (lit. little worms)? Is it the posh name for chocolate sprinkles?

I only said melon baller to give you an idea of the size of balls!

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.

YIPPEEEEE Christmas cooking from Mr BE:j :j

melou

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!

Enjoy your sweeties now,won't you?

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