A BOX OF CHOCOLATES foodloversrecipes Home made, heart felt gifts are highly valued so remember to make it dont buy it this Christmas. Makes 30 * 2 x 150g/5oz packets Oreo biscuits * 125g/4.4oz cream cheese, softened * 300g/10oz milk chocolate, broken or chopped (You can use dark or white chocolate if you prefer) * Coating options see below Line a baking tray with wax paper. In a blender or food processor, grind the cookies to a fine meal. Add the cream cheese, and blend until well combined with no traces of white. Use a teaspoon to scoop out portions of the mixture. Roll into balls, place on the tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate, stirring every 30 seconds, until nice and smooth. Using a fork or two teaspoons, dip the chilled balls one at a time and coat thoroughly; drain excess chocolate. Place back on the tray. When all are coated, refrigerate to set. Optional Coatings: When ready to serve, remove the truffles from the fridge and sit for 5 minutes so they begin to sweat. Although heavier coatings like crushed nuts will need to be sprinkled on immediately after dipping in chocolate. Here are the various options we used: • Desiccated coconut • Crushed nuts • Crushed pistachios • Cocoa powder • White chocolate • Edible glitter • Jelly crystals • Salt flakes Recipe and photo: 4Ingredients Posted: Amanda Conradie
