Tip
It may take some practise to get the biscuits looking like candy canes. Don't be disappointed if they don't turn out the first time.
Can be made into other festive shapes, patterns or designs.
Practise with play dough if needed.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Great idea. Turned out very cute. Tasted great!
But I found the dough difficult to work with. Advise only for advanced cooks.
Spreads a lot so make them much smaller than you would think.
