Description

This year, bring a touch of magic to the table with homemade coal candies! I remember when I was a child, the Epiphany was synonymous with sweet coal, a little sweet joke that I loved. With this recipe, I wanted to recreate that joy, making it even more special. The preparation is a bit laborious, but the result is surprising: a sweet that is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, with that characteristic black color that is so much fun. Perfect for giving as a gift or enjoying during the Christmas holidays, these coal candies are an original and tasty idea. Prepare them with your Thermomix® and amaze everyone!
