Name of Recipe: Choco-nut balls (aka 'Homemade Ferrero Rocher')
Number of People: Depends. In our house they go very quickly!
Ingredients:
1 x 250g packet Milk Arrowroot biscuits
3 tbsp cocoa
1 x 395g tin condensed milk
1/2 cup chopped nuts (or chop them yourself in the TMX)
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
A few drops of rum essence (or 1.5 tbsp rum). This is optional.
Preparation:
1. Blitz the packet of biscuits to a fine powder, the finer the better. (10 seconds at speed 8 or 9 tends to do the trick).
2. Add the other ingredients and mix on Reverse, speed 3 until combined.
3. Take teaspoon sized lumps and roll them into balls and refrigerate until firm.
No cooking required. The finer the biscuit powder, the smoother the result.
This is similar to the recipe I use for rum balls at Christmas time, but I use sultanas instead of chopped nuts. But the nuts give it a different flavour, and they don't seem quite so Christmassy this way, so we enjoy them all year round!

rainbow - I tried these today and rolled them in chocolate sprinkles, very easy.
