Malteser Truffles

In a large pot melt and mix: 

150 grams butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla essence, 3/4 cup caster sugar, and 2 tablespoons dark cocoa powder.

Cool slightly, and add two lightly beaten eggs.  Mix well. 

Add 250 grams finely crushed plain vanilla biscuits. Mix into the chocolate mixture.

(Note the plastic bag/rolling pin crushing technique.  One must improvise when the food processor decides to break!) 

Mix into the chocolate mixture. 

This mixture is quite moist. 

Take a single Malteser from the packet. 

Use clean WET hands to encase the Malteser in the mixture. 

Roll into balls and place onto wax paper to set. 

Melt milk chocolate - and dip each truffle ball in it.

Leave the truffles to set. 

Once set dust the truffles in dark cocoa powder.
