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.

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.

I made mint slice and cream cheese truffles rolled in Dutch cocoa to take to work and they were a hit. I made toffee pop flavour tonight for Christmas day.I have them in the freezer now and will coat them in a variety of ways tomorrow.
I have to confess to padding out the toffee pop ones with wine biscuits because we ate half a pack between the pantry and the kitchen wizz.

I've made tim tam truffles using the white choc caramel tim tams and now I've coated them in melted choc, the caramel is seeping through in places!! I'd therefore recommend (for once!) double dipping!! :)
