Recipe for "Truffles"

[laguna2]

I have a recipe I was given years ago for "truffles". Ingredients are Digestive Biscuits, Condensed Milk, Drinking Chocolate, Coconut and Margarine.

Tried it yesterday and it was just not right! Think I may have guessed the quantities incorrectly!

Does anyone have a recipe like this that works - and has the quantities included !

Thanks in advance.

Here goes but there is a small flaw in the plan - my recipe uses an old style "small" tin of condensed milk but you dont get them any more!! Just use 3/4 of the tin and that should do.

18 crushed rich tea biscuits (or digestives), 2 oz melted marg, 2 tablespoons of drinking chocolate, the tin of condensed milk

Mix together, allow to set for 15 to 20 minutes, roll into small balls and roll them in dessicated coconut or little chocolate strands, simply delicious and oh so good for the waistline......

That is the same recipe as I had ..... and it went all wrong ... I did wonder about the "small" tin being so big!

Also wondered if the digestives had got smaller

Will try your revised version out at the weekend .... thanks very much!

The recipe I use, and cross fingers it's worked every time, is:

20 digestives crushed
10 table spoons desicated coconut
8 table spoons cadbury drinking chocolate
4 oz marg/butter melted
1 tin condensed milk

mix all together and roll into little balls then roll in either coconut or chocolate strands, oh I feel a batch coming on!

Hello
I am kind a new to this so be patient with me! I made chocolate balls last week and they were delicious. Same recipe. Don't last 2 minutes though! Love them with coconut. Pain in the butt not getting small tins of condensed milk as I binned the rest. Should of made an extra batch. Trying to be good though before xmas!! Laters

Sorry I'm not sure what size the tin is, its just the standard size one they have in Tesco. When I get home I'll have a look. My recipe gave half the amounts that I gave you ie. 10 biscuits, etc. Since the tin is a fair size, I doubled all the ingredients up and it seems to work just fine. I'll give you a shout when I see what is on the tin of c milk.

the easiest way to make truffles is to use equal quantities of cream chocolate (any) and melted unsalted butter literally a ganash. then get a melon baller and just scoop them into lovely balls
