Growing up in the suburbs during the 80's these little taste sensations were at every function I can recall and why wouldn't they? They are cheap and easy, all the things I love. I thought everyone knew how to make these gems but when i made them a few weeks ago I had a couple of friends as for the recipe...well here you go ladies.
Choc Balls
1 tin condensed milk
2 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 packet of marie biscuits
3/4 cup dessicated coconut plus a bit extra
Step 1: Crush the biscuits until most of them look like bread crumbs don't worry if there are a few larger chunks. I find the best way is to do it in the food processor, I have also done it in a blender or put them all in a clean plastic bag and bashed the heck out of them.
Step 2: In a large bowl mix all ingredients together.
Step 3: Roll mixture into small balls about two teaspoons worth. Then roll in coconut.
Step 4: Refrigerate them until they are firm.
I was just about to give you my recipe for 'healthy' ones but then realised they're full of nuts... let's not send the kids into anaphylaxis today :)
