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!

Hi, of all the syrups, honey is the best nutritional, followed by agave syrup, then golden syrup.
If you are monitoring GI, then stevia is definitely the lowest, followed by agave syrup, honey then maple syrup.
According to Sydeny Uni GI Database, brown rice malt syrup (Harvest brand) has a GI of 98 but is low in fructose. Other sweetners low in fructose are maple syrup and barley malt syrup.
You can use liquid Stevia but I'm not sure how much you would need - depends on the brand.
It all comes down to whether you are monitoring fructose or GI.
Hi, I just have a question in regars to the sugar (fructose) content of thsi recipe..to keep fructose down, can we swap teh agave or maple for rice malt syrup or do you recommned something natural like stevia...i know agave has alot more fructose than maple syrup so needed to ask.
TIA - M
Made these last night - super easy! I weighed mine out at around 17g each & made almost 40 from memory. I used a zester that makes thin strands & some of them didn't get chopped so I'd recommend a vege peeler instead & maybe put that in with the almonds?I couldn't find maple syrup (I know, right!?) so I used rice malt syrup & used regular chocolate with a bit of coconut oil in to help set.
Leave them to set on a Thermomat for easy removal!
