Every kitchen buff has a first memory of his attempt at cooking or baking and the successes and failures from which they learned and developed. And like everyone else, I have memories like that. So today, with great excitement, I want to share with you the first recipe I ever made when I was probably 8-10 y.o It is from a cookbook for kids that was very popular in Israel in the 80s. The name in Hebrew is Kadurei Shokolad (chocolate balls) כדורי שוקולד, and I have probably made this recipe hundreds of times.
If you like this recipe, give a try to my Israeli Chocolate Balls a fun (and delicious) variation.
