Bendicks Chocolate Mint Fondants, Vegan,Ideal for Christmas, 180 g (Pack of 1)

Product Information

These old-school mints were a far cry from our modern-day humbugsand spearmint chews, as they were in the form of pellets made from frankincense, myrrh (not gold though), and cinnamon. These core ingredients were mixed up and then boiled with honey, all of which sounds quite pleasant, doesn't it? Meanwhile, make the fondant. Put the egg white in a clean bowl and gently stir with a fork to break up. Sift the icing sugar into a bowl, then add half to the egg white. Stir with a wooden spoon until mixed.

Butter the moulds again and dust liberally with cocoa powder. Place in the fridge while you prepare the fondant mixture. Remove from the oven, carefully invert one fondant over a plate and lift the mould off. Repeat the process with the remaining puddings, then serve immediately, with a dollop of crème fraîche or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Stay in touch Mint leaves continued to be used for all kinds of things, from adding enjoyable aromas around the home to proving the perfect accompaniment to a plate of lamb chops. Brandy balls were popular in London in the 1850s, as they contained peppermint and cinnamon and advertised as “warming the tongue like brandy does”. Other types of peppermint sweets were also available throughout Europe around this time, which were made by independent traders in their homes.In true Roman fashion, the conquerors took mint with them wherever they went, resulting in the herb becoming a common ingredient across the world.
