Everyone loves food, and making meals together is a great way to bond with your family. Here are some family treat recipes that your kids will love.
Chocolate rocks (20 units)
Homemade truffles are great any time. But don’t leave them out too long or they will melt.
You will need:
Nutella Hazelnut spread – 1 bottle (at room temperature)
Chocolate-flavoured corn flakes – 1/2 cup
Mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashews) – ½ cup
Butter paper – 1 sheet
Let’s make it:
1. Crush the nuts and cornflakes coarsely by placing them between two sheets of newspaper and pounding them with a rolling pin.
2. Place the Nutella paste in a bowl.
3. Add the crushed mixture into it and gently fold it in with a spoon.
4. Drop the mixture by spoonfuls on a sheet of butter paper and place it in the FREEZER.
5. Remove it only when you want to eat it. Each chocolate rock peels off easily from the paper.
6. Chocolate rocks can be made ahead of time and frozen. Place them in individual muffin cups and serve.
