TM 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.

Recipe's preparation
Preheat oven to 180 deg C (fan forced).
Repeat chopping process for remaining 200g raw almonds. Pour second batch of chopped almonds into baking tray also, spread out evenly in the tray and place in oven for 10 mins to slightly roast the nuts.
While almonds are roasting, clean and dry bowl and continue on with step 5.
Add butter, honey, sugar and mixed spice to TM bowl and melt/mix for 3 mins/90 deg/sp 1.
Add roasted almonds (after finished 10 mins in oven) and flour to melted mixture in TM bowl and combine 10 sec/"Counter-clockwise operation" /sp 3. Allow to cool in TM bowl or transfer to separate bowl until cool enough to be safely handled.
Bake in oven at 180 deg C for 10 mins or until lightly browned.
Remove tray from oven and allow to cool on baking tray (biscuits will be very soft until properly cooled) before continuing on to the dark chocolate finishing steps below.
Ensuring TM bowl is clean and dry, add dark chocolate, roughly broken into pieces, and grate 5 sec/sp 8, then melt 5 mins/50 deg/sp 1.
