Coconut Truffles
I was going through my recipe clippings pile and came across this recipe 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.
The original recipe only added 1/2 teaspoon Baileys, I felt it needed more, so add alcohol of your choice, to taste.
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.
Quick and easy to make, give these a try soon.
