Super easy old fashioned not rum balls, they’ll keep in fridge for a week or so!


Ingredients (makes 30 balls)

  • 1 packet marie biscuits, crushed
  • 1 cup coconut, and some to roll balls in
  • 1/4 cup cocoa

Method

  1. Crush biscuits and mix all dry ingredients together (remember to keep some extra coconut to roll balls in).
  2. Roll mixture into bite-sized balls.
  3. Roll in coconut and refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving.

  • Brilliant for Christmas finger food.

  • Like that they’re not rum balls. I’d have to add a splash of rum though :)

  • This is a great recipe for kids to get in and help with, a great tip is to wet hands before trying to roll into balls, makes it much easier to get coconut to stick also you get more balls as you dont eat it off your hands to try and get it off. hehe, I also put the coconut into a freezer bag and drop the balls into the bag and roll around to coat with coconut you can do 2-3 balls at a time if you want, Try adding some chopped up glace cherries to it, but dont need them, use chocolate ripples for a more chocolatey taste, heaps of bickies work good but the original recipe is great.


    • oh great thinking 99! that would be a cool way to coat these, in a bag.

  • There are many recipes out there for chocolate balls. This is not the most healthy recipe with a tin condensed milk added. I wouldn’t make this or give this to my children.

  • I prefer using chocolate to cocoa and for just the adults, why not add the rum?

  • I have not made these before.

  • i just made this the other day but with weetbix instead of biscuits. i will try it with these bikkies next time as my kids just love these.


    • oh love the idea of weetbix – healthier, nice tip!!!



      • Both ways are pretty good and yummy!


      • Yeah that would be interesting to try. Not quite as delicious though!
