Mint Slice/Tim Tam/ or Toffee Pop Truffles. 2 x 200g-250g packets chocolate biscuits 250g cream cheese. Whiz the biscuits and cream cheese together in a food processor, then roll the mixture into balls. Roll the balls in chocolate hail, or freeze them, then dip them in melted chocolate. Use biscuits of your choice e.g. Mint or plain or other flavours. eg. Mint Slice, Tim Tams, or Toffee Pops
if slightly wet i add crushed cornflakes or some super wine biscuit crumbs not much just enough to not be so moist.

Ill use the kitchen whizz purple. Or Mr P's magic arm. My shoulder is struffed so he does all my mixing anyway.
Im going to get some biscuits etc in the morning. Im thinking I may have to buy twice the amount of apricots as Im sure they wont all hit the bowl.
Are white choc melts best to use instead of normal white choccie.!

I made the timtam truffles with condensed milk and they were lovely. I tried sensation bisc also but they were very messy to work with and I ended up with choc and mixture all over the place. Is there an easier way to roll the balls in the chocolate besides just using your hands! I put raspberry ess in them. I have to make more for xmas as I gave them away.

The two packets of bikkies with the one block of cream cheese can be a bit sticky - popping a handful of wine biscuits in with them solves the problem - and you wouldn't know at all that they were there at all.
