You can’t see it in this picture very well – but as well as coconut these delicious little treats have been rolled in edible glitter. When on your christmas table or simply to be kept in the fridge as treats to go with coffee over the festive season – these are a delicious alternative to the deeper darker cousin – the rum ball. I used Baileys in these, purely because I couldn’t get the stopper out of the white chocolate liquor that would have worked equally well ( if not better). I do hope you enjoy these simple treats. They are assuredly a treat and to be enjoyed in moderation and shared with friends. Merry Christmas xoxo

INGREDIENTS:

1 full tin condensed milk

200g melted white chocolate

1 and one half cups of desiccated coconut

1 whole packet of arrowroot biscuits finely crushed in a processor

3 tablespoons of Baileys or White Chocolate Liquor ( my preferred brand is here)

Edible Glitter ( as much as you’d like)

VERY IMPORTANT CHRISTMAS SONGS IN THE BACKGROUND AS YOU CREATE!

METHOD:

Add all of your ingredients ( reserving half a cup of coconut and the glitter) to a big bowl. Mush it all with your hands. Use disposable kitchen gloves as its pretty sticky!

Roll mixture into balls and gently roll each ball into the reserve but mixed coconut and glitter.

Pop into papers or onto a lined baking tray. Pop into fridge to set. Once set store in a sealed container in the fridge and see how long they last!
