This recipe popped up on my face book page and they looked so good, I had to give them a try. They are so quick and easy to make, and the kids simply loved them.
Great as a little lunch or after school treat, and not as bad for you as some of the packaged treats we give kids.
One tip I would give though, is crush the biscuits in a bag by smashing them with a rolling pin, you get coarser crumbs, therefore adding more crunch. The first time I made them I used a food processor, the crumbs were finer and produced drier truffles.
If once you have mixed it all together the mixture is too wet to roll. Just refrigerate them for 10-20 minutes until the mixture is easy to roll.
These are suitable to freeze, but in my house I don't see this happening.
You can add nuts or milo to the mix if you like, I haven't yet. My husband who loves them to suggests adding some rum.
Quick and easy to make, give these a try soon.
