These are classic treats can be used for any occasion and are
great as a gift. They are really simple, only require a few ingredients and are
highly versatile. They can be great as a snack with a coffee or tea, they are
absolutely delicious and can last a long time. With the perfect recipe, you
will never be craving for anything chocolaty anymore.
Here's what you need:
Ingredients:
- 1 packet (250g) Marie Biscuits (or any type of sweet, dry
biscuits)
- 1/3 cup (40g) cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (45g) desiccated coconut
- 1 tin (395g) condensed milk
For the first step of how to make these chocolate bowls, you
will need to crush some biscuits. This may take a while but if you'd like to
speed up the process a bit, you can put them in a food processor very quickly
until they resemble large crumbs.
How to Start
Step 1: Crush the
biscuits in a bowl until they resemble large crumbs. Don't crush them too much
because that will only make the balls not have a mixed texture.
Step 2: Sift the
cocoa into the bowl, then add the coconut, and then add the condensed milk.
Step 3: Roughly mold the mixture together with your hands until the ingredients are all mixed
together.
Step 4: Grab small
amounts of the mixture and roll them into balls.
Step 5: There are
many different types of decorations that you can use to make your chocolate
balls look attractive. Here are some ideas.
Coconut: You can roll them in coconut to create a strong contrast in color.
Chocolate Sprinkles: You can roll them in chocolate sprinkles to create a nice blend of different chocolate shades.
100s & 1000s: You can roll them in colored sprinkles to mix a nice range of colors with the dense chocolaty color of the chocolate balls.
If you'd like to give your chocolate balls as a gift, you can
wrap it up in some clear cellophane and tie it up with a ribbon. If you'd like,
you can package them in a box and also tie it up with a ribbon. It's up to you.
Enjoy!
