- Cuisine: Dessert
Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed digestive biscuits
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 cup desiccated coconut or sprinkles (for rolling)
Cooking Instructions
- Find a large mixing bowl and toss in the crushed digestive biscuits, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix these dry ingredients like a maestro conducting an orchestra.
- Pour in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture forms a sticky dough. If it’s too dry, serenade it with a splash more milk.
- Fold in the chopped nuts if you’re feeling nutty.
- With hands slightly damp, take a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until you’ve created a chocolate army.
- Roll each ball in desiccated coconut or sprinkles, depending on your fanciful whims.
- Place them on a tray and pop them in the fridge for about an hour. Let them firm up before you dive in. Patience, padawan.
Suggestions
- Consider swapping digestive biscuits with graham crackers or even crushed Oreos for a twist.
- Feel like going boozy? Mix in a tablespoon of rum or coffee liqueur to the dough.
- For a festive touch, roll them in colored sugar or finely chopped dried fruits.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the nuts into the dough instead of folding. Blender magic!
- Serve on a platter with coffee or a glass of milk. For a dramatic flair, drizzle with melted white chocolate.
