Chocolate Balls Recipe

Chocolate balls at Christmas time are an absolute must in the Kelly household. I have been making the same recipe for too many years to count. They are utterly delicious and definitely easy Christmas baking. The recipe uses only 5 ingredients and one bowl. I love adding chocolate balls as part of my baked goods for Christmas because you can freeze them. This means that I can make them very early in the holiday season 👏👏. If you have a lot of cooking to do anything you can do ahead of time is definitely a game changer.

Chocolate balls recipe

Prep Time30 minutes mins

Ingredients

• 2 cups milk coffee biscuits any plain sweet biscuits will work eg. Milk Arrowroot, Digestives or Graham Crackers
• 1 cup desiccated coconut
• 2 tbsp cocoa
• 1 tin condensed milk
• 3/4 cup milk choc bits for a simple variation you can add white choc bits or a mix of milk dark and white
• extra coconut for rolling balls into

Instructions

• Crush biscuits by either putting in a food processor or by putting the biscuits in a ziploc bag and rolling over it with a rolling pin. It doesn't matter if you process fine or have a few chunky bits of biscuit, its all good.
• Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix together well.
• Roll into balls and then in to the coconut. You can make whatever size you like. I prefer using about a tablespoon of mixture per ball.
• You can eat immediately, keep in the refrigerator for at least a week or do as I do and freeze until required.

I also love using this basic recipe to to try different variations. I have included several of these in my Recipes for Gifting Cookbook which you will find here. The variations included in the book are:

• Hazelnut Balls
• Mint Slice Balls
• Turkish Delight Balls
• Clinkers Marshmallow Balls
• Caramilk Biscoff Balls

The cookbook also includes other recipes I like to include in my use for food gifts including rocky road, slices, and biscuits (cookies).

Chocolate balls truly are a staple part of my food gifts especially for holidays. As part of the Christmas season I also get into crafting mode to make a gift bag that I then load up with home baked goodies. Here’s the link for an easy way I do this.
