Bakes of Christmas #11

Almost 2013! Happy new years eve everyone! Sorry I haven't been the most loyal of bloggers recently, but things just keep cropping up and I really haven't had the time... sorry... so here is my eleventh bake of Christmas time... Chocolate truffles! Tasty and perfect for a New Year party snack, these little bites of chocolatey yumminess are just perfect for this time of year. I got the recipe idea from a combination of Cake Pops, and a recipe which I vaguely remember reading in an Usborne Children's Christmas book, these are really simple and would be easy for kids to make! Happy new year! xxxx

Enjoy 2012, while it lasts! :)
Much love, Alex-Rose xxx

Chocolate Truffles

Ingredients:

• 1 Cake/12 Cupcakes
• 150g Milk Chocolate
• 50g Cocoa powder
• Mini Cupcake cases

Method:
Crumble the cake into fine and even crumbs, then set aside. Melt the chocolate in the microwave and then add it to the cake crumbs a tablespoon at a time. Mix until the the cake and chocolate mixture is damp but not too wet. Next cover a plate in a layer of cocoa powder and set aside. To make the truffles take a small amount of the chocolate cake mix and roll into a ball then roll that in the cocoa powder and place in a case before serving, continue this process until all the mixture is used up.
