    Made this on the weekend with almonds instead of walnuts because I didn't have any! Tastes amazing. Probably is a bit too much sugar but wasn't game enough to adjust the recipe as I'm still new to my thermomix. The sugar isn't overwhemling in the taste of it though. Great work snack!!

    This was yummy and dense - we couldn't wait for it to cool down though, and the fussy eaters liked it too! I removed the nuts so it was lunchbox friendly, reduced the sugar to 200g, added 350g of pumpkin and a bit more flour (as the mixture was quite runny), and added a mix of chocolate and sultanas instead. A great way to add more vegetables to the diet!
