Again, another recipe that you can get the kids to help with. Be warned though, making the balls is incredibly messy. I tend to use rubber gloves for this recipe, although the kids will probably love eating it off their fingers.
Ingredients:
1 cup of condensed milk
2 cups of biscuit crumbs
1 cup of coconut
2 tablespoons of cocoa
1 teaspoon of rum essence (optional)
Method:
Place all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix well and roll into balls. Roll in extra coconut.
Chill.
Now honestly, how easy is that? Messy yes, but very very easy.
You could make a whole heap of these a few days before Christmas, wrap them in cellophane or tissue paper and give them to people for Christmas gifts.

Yum! What kind of biscuit crumbs?
badness jones’s last blog post..Warning!!!! Big Wordy Post Ahead….
I tend to use Arrowroot biscuits because they aren’t too sweet, but again, I have no idea what biscuits are like in the US and Canada.
I think anything that isn’t too sweet and that crumbles would work well enough.
I always use Marie biscuits for this kind of thing. (The arrowroots get eaten.) I tried making these once with rubber gloves, but I prefer making them without. Halfway through I get to stop and lick my hands clean. Yum. Then I wash them and start again. What else do you roll your truffles in? I’ve done coconut, cocoa powder, chocolate sprinkles and dipped them in melted chocolate. (milk, dark and white, made a pretty plateful one christmas)
