Chocolate mint fudge is a deliciously sweet Christmas treat! Decorated as a Christmas Tree, it makes the perfect gift from your Thermomix Kitchen.
It's starting to feel a lot like Christmas! I'm starting to feel the pressure to last-minute gifts from the kitchen organised, have Christmas hampers finished, and still have enough sweets and treats left over to keep the family happy. Luckily most of my recipes are quick and simple, especially using the Thermomix.
Another Cute Christmas Gift Idea
If you're looking for more ideas for your Thermomix Christmas gift hampers take a look at some of my other delicious recipes. This recipe came about because I was making Salted Caramel Fudge Reindeer every year and I wanted to try something new!
Making a Chocolate Mint Fudge Christmas Tree
Making the Christmas tree from fudge is a really simple process. The trick is to add the decorations before the fudge has time to set.
- Line a round springform tin with plastic wrap.
- Pour the cooked fudge into the lined springform tin.
- Quickly, lightly score the 8 triangular segments.
- Add the 8 Christmas Tree toppers to the top of each tree at its apex.
- Shake silver and white sprinkles over the Christmas Tree.
- Add red lollies or smarties to the tree.
- Allow the fudge to set completely in the fridge.
- Once completely firm use a hot knife and the scored lines as the cutting guide to cut triangular segments.
- Place in rectangular plastic bags and add a bow to the tree base.

Christmas Hampers from the Kitchen
Cooking traditional Christmas sweets in the lead-up to Christmas always gets me in the mood for the big day. I like to make up little hampers for neighbours, teachers, and bus drivers. There are a few things that are always included in the hamper. My Traditional Christmas Thermomix Shortbread is so buttery and crisp. The smell of these baking will make them hard to give away.
Also, I think Rum Balls are everyone's guilty pleasure. These are so easy to make it almost feels like cheating. They can be made weeks ahead of time too!

When do you put the paddle pop sticks in?
Julie Carlyle says
The paddle pop sticks aren't inserted in the fudge they are just wrapped in the bad as a decorative Christmas Tree trunk.
