Hi guys,

As requested. I warn you though, these stuff are deliciously fattening. :biggrin:



Ingredients (For chocolate balls)

• 1 packet Marie or Rich Tea biscuits, crushed into powder
  
• 1/2 cup coconut (optional)
  
• 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
  
• 1 can of condensed milk
  
• Wooden Sticks (I prefer big 'chopstick' like wooden sticks because I make big balls)
  

Ingredients (For Coating) - Optional Really

• 1 Van Houten cooking (baking) chocolate
  
• 1 cup of chocolate chips or chocolate sprinkles or coconut or 1 cup of Walnuts, crushed
  

Method

1. Mix all ingredients for chocolate balls together and roll them into small or big balls.
   
2. Insert wooden sticks into your chocolate balls.
   
3. Melt Van Houten cooking (baking) chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook until smooth, stirring occasionally.
   
4. If you make small balls, you can just dip your balls in, swirling to coat evenly. But if you make big balls, you have to use a tablespoon to coat them.
   
5. Van Houten (cooking) baking chocolate dries very quickly. So once you've coated 1 chocolate ball, immediately sprinkle it with chocolate chips or chocolate sprinkles or coconut or 1 cup of Walnuts. You only coat your second chocolate ball when the first has been sprinkled.
   
6. Place your chocolate balls on a tray and store them in the refrigerator to harden and chill. Serve cold.
   

Recipe Note

1. I used a food processor to crush the biscuits.
   
2. I used a knife instead of a food processor to crush the walnuts. I don't want my walnuts to be squashed into powder. Just use a knife or a rolling pin to crush walnuts into smaller pieces.
   

I think on the 14th Feb i am going to give it a go at making these.... Do these require going in the oven or is it done on the pan if so what temperature in Cels please as my oven doesnt have fairenheit...

Kindest regards
