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.
