Handmade Reindeer Christmas Decorations
Way back in 2016, I shared on Mia Bella Passions, a tutorial on how to create these cute little reindeer.
Over the years I have made them in various colourways made from felt.
Originally handstitched, but in this version they are created using a sewing machine.
The deer have been enjoyed by all on my trees at Christmas for years,
so I thought I would share the link to the original tutorial with pattern and step by step instructions again.

Fudge it with Caramel Rough Fudge
Totally bad for you!
But oh so good.
Sometimes we need to have naughty little treats and this 'Caramel Rough Fudge' ticks all those boxes.
I have adapted this recipe to have less sugar and butter than usual, so that kind of makes me feel a bit better when chomping on a piece!
It is also a fabulous homemade gift.
Instead of pouring the mixture to set in a tray,
just pop spoon fulls into mini cupcake cases.
Box, or place in cellophane to gift.
The recipe calls for white chocolate melts.
Caramel Syrup.
Brown Sugar.
Sweetened Condensed Milk.
Coconut.
White Chocolate Melts.
And butter.
The extra bonus about this recipe is it is super simple to make in a microwave.
The microwave I used was 800 watts.
If yours is more powerful you will need to drop the cooking time by 2 mins at the end.
Method:
Melt 100 grams of salted butter.
Add 400 grams of brown sugar,
A 395 gram can of Sweetened condensed milk.
Microwave in 4 increments of 2 minutes.
Stir between each increment.
Add 1/2 cup dry coconut.
And 20 ml of caramel syrup.
Microwave for 4 minutes.
Stir through 290 grams of white chocolate melts.
When melted and smooth spoon into mini cupcake cases.
