Sammy’s Spooktacular Halloween

By Mike Petrik

White Chocolate ‘Mummy’ Truffles

Get busy in the kitchen with your little ones this Halloween and create some White Chocolate ‘Mummy’ Truffles! Not only are they on theme, but they’re a delicious treat!

Ingredients

200 g white chocolate
1/4 cup cream
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup desiccated coconut
200 g white chocolate melts
1 black writing icing

Method

  1. Place chocolate and cream in a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until melted. Remove from heat and stir through vanilla and coconut. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm.
  2. With damp hands, roll teaspoon-size balls of truffle mixture and place on a tray. Freeze for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, melt white chocolate melts in a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water
  3. Remove truffle balls from freezer. One at a time, dip balls in melted chocolate to coat, allowing excess to drip off. Place on a tray lined with non-stick baking paper. When you have coated all of the balls and the chocolate coating has set, spoon remaining melted chocolate into a zip-lock bag. Snip a tiny corner off the end and drizzle over truffles to create ‘bandages’. Usewriting icing to dot on eyes.
