BISCOFF SNOWBALLS
by Jill
A classic but with a twist! And Snowballs are kind of festive, right?!
Biscoff makes these even better… the question is do you prefer a white or pink marshmallow inside?! For me it has to be white (and yes there is a difference in the taste)!!
A perfect bake for making with kids or when you want something delicious that’s made in a few minutes.
INGREDIENTS
Makes 8 large snowballs - you can also double this recipe, because they are a little moreish!!
• 160g biscoff biscuits
• 150g condensed milk (less than half a tin)
• 1 tbsp Biscoff spread, melted for 20 seconds in microwave
• 8 marshmallows
• About 4-5 tbsp dessicated coconut
METHOD
1. Put the biscuits in a large food bag and smash with a rolling pin until they are fine crumbs.
2. In a large bowl mix together the crushed biscuits, condensed milk and melted Biscoff spread. Mix well.
3. Pour the dessicated coconut onto a plate.
Put a heaped dessertspoon of the mixture onto the palm
of your hand and squash flat. Place a marshmallow in the middle and cover the marshmallow with the mixture. Roll into a ball and place onto the coconut. Roll around until fully coated.
4. Place on a tray lined with a sheet of greaseproof paper and pop into the fridge for a couple of hours to firm up. Then enjoy!
