This is a variation of my Chocolate Biscuit Balls recipe. It’s a very nostalgic recipe 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.
How to Make Israeli Chocolate Balls?
Step 1: Start by crushing the cookies until they have been finely grounded and resemble the texture of sand. Place the crumbs into a large bowl.
Step 2: Mix the crumbs with the wet ingredients. Let the mixture cool in the fridge for 15-30 minutes.
Step 3: With wet hands, roll balls the size of ping-pong (more or less). Then, roll each ball in shredded coconut or sprinkles.
FAQS
You can store the chocolate balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If you prefer to store them longer, you can freeze them.
