1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees.
2. Combine the dried fruit & diced apricots in a plastic bowl and pour apple juice or brandy over. Leave to soak 15-30mins.
3. Add butter & brown sugar to TMX bowl and cream 20sec/sp5. Scrape down and repeat if necessary.
4. Add eggs and combine 5sec/sp4.
5. Add flour, spice, fruit mixture & almonds (if using). Combine 10sec/ rev /sp4. Use spatula to help combine if necessary.
6. Spoon mixture into greased mini muffin holes (24-hole tray plus a 12-hole tray).
7. Bake aprox 18mins @ 160 degrees.
1. Wash & thoroughly dry TMX bowl. Add white choc and grate 5sec/sp8. Melt 2mins/50degrees/sp3 or until melted.
2. While choc is melting, cut mint leaves jellies into 4 thin slices to represent holly leaves. Sort thru a packet of mini M&Ms to find the red ones.
3. Once the cakes have cooled, drizzle a teaspoon of melted choc onto the top then quickly add 2 pieces of mint leaf & 2 red M&Ms to represent holly. (Don't be tempted to add choc to more than about 4 at a time, as the choc will cool & set before you can add the lollies).
4. Refridgerate until ready to serve.
