Choc-Mint bites

You will need:

• Mixing bowl


• Spatula


• Foil covered lrg tray


• Processor

Ingredients:

1 can Condensed milk

1 pkt chocolate biscuits

1 cup coconut

1tsp peppermint essence

Method

1. Process biscuits into a fine crumb


2. Place condensed milk, biscuit crumbs, coconut and essence into a bowl and mix well


3. Roll into round balls and place on foil tray


4. Place in fridge for 2hrs or until set

Tips:

• To test if mix is a good consistency roll into a ball - if it collapses back into mixture add more biscuits or coconut


• For a fancy look drizzle melted chocolate over the top once cooled - return to fridge to set chocolate


• Variations:

Apricot: Condensed milk, butternut or arrowroot biscuits, chopped apricots (3/4), silvered almonds (1/2 cup) or replace nuts with coconut and roll balls in coconut

Caramel: Top 'n' fill caramel, butternut biscuits, chopped caramel fudge/ Jersey caramels (really really yummy)

Rum: swap peppermint essence with rum, can add sultanas as well

Coffee: swap essence with coffee granules (only ever use good quality)

• Another great idea is to hide a piece of your fav choc bar in the middle - just cut into small pieces and use basic choc recipe (without essence-unless your have mint choc in centre) place piece in centre and roll mix around.
