## Ingredients You’ll Need
Base
- 2 cups crushed tea biscuits or digestive biscuits
- ½ cup crushed nuts (optional – peanuts, almonds, or walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- ½ cup condensed milk
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Chocolate Coating
- 200–250 g milk or dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon oil or butter (for shine)
Optional add-ins:
- coconut flakes
- peanut butter
- chocolate chips
- caramel
- dates
- raisins
## Step 1 – Crush the Biscuits
First, make crumbs.
Put biscuits in:
- blender OR
- zip bag and crush with rolling pin
Texture should be:
not powder, not big chunks → small crumbs.
Some tiny chunks are GOOD (gives crunch).
## Step 2 – Mix the Filling
In a bowl add:
- crushed biscuits
- cocoa powder
- nuts
- melted butter
- condensed milk
- vanilla
Mix everything.
It should form a thick sticky dough.
If too dry → add little milk
If too wet → add more biscuits
You want soft but shapeable.
## Step 3 – Shape the Balls
Scoop small portions (1 tablespoon).
Roll between hands into balls.
Place on tray with parchment paper.
Size tip:
Smaller = cuter + easier to eat 😄
Put tray in fridge 15–20 minutes to firm up.
Makes dipping easier later.
## Step 4 – Melt the Chocolate
Melt chocolate:
Microwave:
30 seconds → stir → repeat
OR double boiler.
Add 1 tsp oil/butter for smooth shiny finish.
Chocolate should be silky, not thick.
## Step 5 – Dip & Coat
Now the fun part 🍫
- Drop ball in chocolate
- Roll with fork
- Lift and tap excess
- Place back on tray
Repeat for all.
Work fast before chocolate sets.
Optional:
Sprinkle coconut or nuts on top before hardening.
## Step 6 – Chill to Set
Refrigerate 20–30 minutes until chocolate hardens.
Then… DONE.
Snack time 😍
