Instructions
- Line slice tins (approx 27 x 17cm) with baking paper.
- Crush or process biscuits to a fine crumb texture.
- Combine biscuit crumbs, coconut, condensed milk, halved glace cherries and 5-6 drops of red food colouring in a mixing bowl. Stir well to combine. Mixture should turn pink and hold together well.
- Roll (about a tablespoon of) mixture into balls. Place onto trays and place into fridge to set a little while you melt the chocolate.
- Melt milk and dark chocolate in two separate bowls, using 20 second bursts in the microwave and stirring well between bursts until chocolate is smooth, glossy and runny.
- Decorate balls by dipping in melted chocolate, half dipping in melted chocolate or drizzling some chocolate over the balls. You can also layer the two different types of chocolate (for example, dip half in milk chocolate and drizzle with dark chocolate), and use coconut and cherries to decorate. You can also simply roll the balls in coconut.
- Place into fridge for at least 2 hours to set.
