How to make truffles with digestive biscuits
Ingredients
Makes: 40–50 truffles | Cost: £1.93* excluding optional extra drinking choc | Time taken: 40 mins
- 16 digestive biscuits (£0.41)
- 6 heaped tablespoons of drinking chocolate powder (£0.52) – extra for dusting (optional)
- 1 can (397g) of condensed milk (£1.00).
Method
- Place your digestive biscuits in a large bowl or a plastic bag, and crush them with a rolling pin (or something similar) until the digestives are small powdery crumbs.
- Add the chocolate drinking powder and mix.
- Add the entire can of condensed milk and stir until thoroughly combined. Chill in the fridge for around 20–30 minutes.
- Put a couple more tablespoons of drinking chocolate powder in a bowl for dusting (optional).

- Enjoy!
