Simple Chocolate Balls

I think we all have childhood memories of chocolate balls – that delicious mix of chocolate, cream and biscuits, rolled in coconut flakes or colourful sprinkles.
And what’s the best part of all this fun? No baking required! 😄

Here’s a little secret: I love letting my kids make them. I feel they turn out even tastier that way 🤫

Ingredients:

200g dark chocolate OR 300 g milk chocolate OR 400 g white chocolate
250ml whipping cream
250g biscuits, crushed
Optional: Colourful sprinkles / coconut flakes / chopped nuts

Instructions:

Step 1Chop the chocolate and place it in a microwave-safe bowl along with the cream.
Step 2Heat gently in the microwave and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth
Step 3Add the crushed biscuits and mix until well combined
Step 4Cover the bowl with cling film, pressing the film directly onto the batter to prevent a skin from forming
Step 5Chill in the fridge for 1.5 to 2 hours
Step 6Then shape into balls with your hands (I personally like them bite-sized, but feel free to make them any size you like!)
Step 7If desired, roll the balls in sprinkles, coconut, or chopped nuts
Step 8Store the balls in an airtight container in the fridge

Notes & Tips:

For a vegan version, use coconut cream instead of whipping cream and choose vegan chocolate.
In my experience, it’s always better to double the amount (at least!).
You can crush the biscuits coarsely or finely – I prefer them coarse for that extra crunchy bite.
You can use any biscuits you want/have, though I, for myself, love using plain butter biscuits.
Coffee lovers can add a teaspoon of instant coffee powder when melting the chocolate and cream.
For an adult version add a tablespoon of your favourite liqueur to the mix.
