Last Sunday, I was in the mood to make something with chocolate
so I skimmed through my stack of recipes.
My goal: to make something new,
make something yummy,
make something easy,
and make sure that I have my ingredients ready in my pantry...
and I found the ONE!
My Hubby is not a fan of chocolates but
he totally loved it.
He gave me an A+. Isn't it great?
Try it ☺
You will need:
- 3 cups Graham cracker crumbs ( or use Graham crackers, finely crushed)
- ½ cup Cocoa Powder
- 1 (850 grams) Fruit Cocktail, completely drained (about 2 hours or more)
- ¼ cup Condensed Milk (may add more for your desired sweetness)
- ½ cup All-purpose Cream, chilled
- ¼ cup Butter, softened
- ¼ cup Sugar
- ¼ cup Nuts, crushed (I used peanuts and cashew nuts on mine)
for the coating:
- 200-250 grams milk chocolate bar
- ½ cup butter
- paper cups (for mini cupcakes) (optional)
- mini marshmallows, candy sprinkles, crushed nuts, or white chocolate for toppings (optional)
Preparation:
Step 1: Combine graham crumbs and cocoa in a bowl. Add fruit cocktail, mix well until fruits
are coated fully.
Step 2: Add the remaining ingredients, except the ones for coating. Mix well.
Step 3: Form into 1 tablespoon balls and freeze for 15 minutes.
>> Make the coating:
Step 4: In a double broiler, melt chocolate with butter in a low heat. Using tongs, dip each
ball in chocolate and put in paper cups.
Step 5: Finish each truffle with marshmallows, nuts, candy sprinkles or white chocolate if
desired. Chill to set.
