Vosi Hnizda Czech Christmas Sweets Recipes

VOSI HNIZDA (CZECH CHRISTMAS SWEETS)

Steps:

• Set the 25 whole vanilla wafers aside.
• Crush enough vanilla wafers, in a medium sized bowl, to make 1 1/4 cups of a rough"flour".
• Add powdered sugar, butter, rum, water, and cocoa.
• Mix ingredients.
• In a small bowl mix filling ingredients together.
• Dust the inside of the bee hive form with powdered sugar, then press in a small ball of dough.
• Make a hole in the dough with your finger or end of a wooden spoon.
• Add enough filling to the hole, with a spoon, to fill the cavity.
• Carefully tap the hive out of the form and set it atop a whole vanilla wafer.
• You must experiment to find out how much powdered sugar one needs to dust the form with, so that the hive slips out easily.
• If you have no bee hive form, use an empty chamber from a grocery store cardboard egg carton.
• Store in a cool place, remembering you have raw egg in the filling.
