Place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until you have a good, uniform mixture. I usually do it in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, but this isn’t difficult to do by hand.
Make equal-sized balls (usually the size of a whole walnut), then roll in your chosen covering (see below), before chilling in the fridge. The traditional treat is simply rolled in pearl sugar, desiccated coconut or sprinkles.
Flavours and coverings:
Orange: This one is for the grown-ups. Add 2 tablespoons Cointreau and ¼ teaspoon finely grated orange zest to 200 g/7 oz. of your mixture. Roll in chocolate sprinkles.
Almond: Another grown up one. Add 2 tablespoons Amaretto to 200 g/7 oz. of your mixture, then roll in toasted, chopped almonds.
Raspberry: Children can enjoy this one. Add 1 tablespoon raspberry jam/preserves to 200 g/7 oz. of your mixture. Roll in freeze-dried raspberry pieces or chocolate sprinkles.
