Rum Balls

For me (Gabe), Rum Balls are the taste of Christmas. I love them but I never have them at any other time of year. They are a special Christmas treat. This is my Mum's recipe...

8 Weetbix

1 tin condensed milk

2 tablespoons cocoa

1 cup mixed fruit

2 tablespoons of rum (or more if you want)

Crumble the Weetbix and mix all the other ingredients with it. Place in the fridge for about 1/2 an hour. Make into balls and roll in coconut. Keep in the fridge. 

C if for Crafty Christmas.....

Gabe and I decided over the weekend (with a belly full of delicious food from Rock and Roll cafe in Mullumbimby) that we would love to blog about all things Christmas in the lead up to Sew and Tell presents A Very Crafty Christmas. Cute ideas, recipes, things to make.....

So here's my first idea to pretty up your Christmas lunch table. I'm pretty obsessed by edible flowers at the moment. Not only do they look divine, they also taste lovely. Freeze them in ice cubes and serve with the drink of your choice (punch or scotch). Yum yum!
