[edit] Ingredients

* 250 gr or 9 oz cookies or biscuits (with no filling such as digestive, marie, petit beurre, etc)
* 200 gr or 7 oz milk chocolate
* 1/2 cup of full cream
* To decorate: dessicated coconut, 100s and 1000s, crushed biscuits / cookies, etc.

[edit] Steps

1. Wash your child's hands.
2. Put various toppings in small containers on the table.
3. Put the cookies / biscuits in a sturdy bag and allow the child to crush them with a rolling pin of a can of peas (or anything else for that matter...). This step is optional but it is half the fun for kids.
4. Put the cookies in a food processor to grind them (assuming the kids left big pieces which need to be ground).
5. Melt the chocolate in the double cream until it has melted (using the microwave or over a small flame on the stove). This step should obviously be done by an adult.
6. Help your child to mix the chocolate and cream mixture with the cookie crumbs.
7. Wet your child's hands and show him or her how to make little balls with the mixture.
8. Roll the balls in one of the toppings.
9. Put them in the fridge. They should be ready to eat withing approximately 30 minutes.


[edit] Tips

* If you wet your hands before working with the mixture it is much easier to form the balls.
* If the mixture is too dry you can add a bit of cream or milk. If it is too soft you can refrigerate it until it hardens.
* For a more professional look put each ball in a paper cup.


[edit] Warnings

* Adult supervision is required to melt the chocolate.
