Pour in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract, then mix everything together with a spoon or your hands until a sticky dough forms.
- 4
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes so the mixture is easier to handle.
- 5
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms into smooth, bite-sized balls.
- 6
Roll each ball in your choice of sprinkles, coconut, or crushed nuts until fully coated.
- 7
Place the finished chocolate balls on a lined tray and refrigerate for at least another 30 minutes before serving.
💡 Chef tips
- If the mixture feels too dry and crumbly, add an extra splash of milk one teaspoon at a time; if it is too sticky, add a few more crushed biscuits.
- You can prepare the dough a day ahead and store it covered in the fridge until you are ready to roll the balls with the kids.
- Store the chocolate balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze them for up to a month.
✅ How it should turn out
The finished chocolate balls should be firm yet fudgy, evenly coated with colorful toppings, and rich with a sweet cocoa flavor.
