Snowballs

Assemble ingredients (but use better chocolate that this!)
The dough
Chill the dough balls for an hour
The finished snowballs

Ingredients

300g white chocolate (buy good quality or the sweets can be a bit, well, sweet)
300g Madeira cake
50g unsalted butter
125g desiccated coconut

If you fancy making some home made sweet treats for Christmas (or anytime), these snowballs are delicious and so easy.

I made these one day; next day made the same but with dark chocolate instead of white. Planning more variations with additions of alcohol, soaked fruit etc. I thought rum and raisin might be nice - or Cointreau and maybe an orange flavoured chocolate. Who knows? :-)

Prep: 30 mins Cook: Serves: Makes 30

Instructions

Melt the butter and half the chocolate in a basin over simmering water.
Blitz the Madeira cake to crumbs in a food processor (or chop finely with a knife).
When the butter and chocolate are melted, add the cake crumbs and mix thoroughly..
When the mixture is cool enough to handle, take a teaspoonful and form into a ball; put it on a tray lined with greaseproof paper. Repeat until you have used all the mixture. Chill for an hour.
Melt the rest of the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water.
Dip each sweet in the melted chocolate, allow excess to drain off, then roll it in the dessicated coconut. Chill for a further hour.

Keeps for a week in the fridge (yeah, right!).
