Chocolate rum balls

 These rum balls are pre-prepared, easy, and the kids will adore helping you make them. Why not make creating them as much a tradition as eating them each Christmas?

Ingredients:

  • 1 packet Round Wine biscuits
  • 1 cup coconut
  • 1 200g can condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa
  • 120g copha, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 2 teaspoons rum
  • Extra coconut for coating

Method:

Use a food processor to crumble half the biscuits, pour into a large mixing bowl and repeat with remaining biscuits.

Add coconut, condensed milk, cocoa, copha, vanilla and rum to the biscuits and mix well.

Roll one heaped teaspoonful of mixture into a ball and roll in extra coconut. Store in the fridge.

Notes:

  • If your kids like getting their hands dirty, they will love helping you roll the balls and throwing coconut around the kitchen.
  • If you own a food processor, crush the biscuits by putting them in a freezer bag (two, depending on the quality of said plastic bag) and crushing them with a rolling pin. Also very therapeutic.
