Toffee pops are too soft and sticky - use Tim Tams a much firmer biscuit Never fails.

I used 1 block Whittakers for 2 packs mint slice and 125gm lite cream cheese.In this heat I'd be keeping them in the fridge Sunflower.

I made two lots today.2 packets of budget choc biscuits + one of wine (thanks for whoever had that tip!) and 250gm cream cheese.
I haven't dipped them yet (forgot to buy the chocolate duh!)but I do it with dessert spoon and a teaspoon.Load the big spoon up with chocolate, roll it around with the teaspoon (sometimes I just drop the truffle in the choc to start with) then sort of hold the trufle with the 'points' of both spoons to and let it drip for a second. I don't think there's a 'truely easy way' but I might invest in one of those wire spoon things one day.
Once they are hard I do a tidy up with a sharp knife if the chocolate has made a flat bottom on them.A wee wipe with a warm teaspoon and you can't tell you've done it.

I make the Mint Slice Balls often, i find what works for me is keeping the mint slice biscuits in the freezer .
Once i have rolled the balls i put them in the freezer to set (doesn't take long) and then dip them in chocolate.I also keep them in the freezer and pull them out as needed.In my opinion they are best straight from the freezer.
Enjoy :)

So once they are made, how long do they keep for! Am wanting to make some for the daycare teachers - but today is prolly the only day I can make them, and I was going to give them on Monday! :)
