In addition to the little christmas fruit cakes I had cooked earlier, I also made some traditional shortbread which my family ate like a bag of potato chips - by the handful and they couldn't stop eating it. I think I made three batches just for them!

White Christmas funnily enough contains rice bubbles and like its famous relative, chocolate crackles, also contains copha which is melted to bind all the dry ingredients together. However unlike chocolate crackles, White Christmas does not contain chocolate (although I do spread a layer of white chocolate on top of the slice once it's set - my personal touch). In traditional Christmas style, White Christmas contains mixed dried fruit, glace cherries and coconut. Milk powder is added to give an extra creamy taste and icing sugar for extra sweetness plus it also helps the mixture to set. Press the mix into the mould and set in the fridge for a couple of hours, then cut into squares.

And last but not least, I made salted caramel
fudge. This one was my personal favourite. Very rich, only a small portion was
needed at a time, and yet it was very addictive. This fudge went spectacularly
with a cup of coffee. My tip was to take a bite of fudge, a sip of coffee and
then let the coffee melt the fudge in my mouth. Yum!
Oh goodness - salted caramel fudge om nom nom!
