Chocolate Balls

I've often tried these at Christmas parties and never liked them much.  They were always too sweet and sickly tasting.  So here's a more enjoyable version...

1 x 250g packet Choc Ripple Biscuits (Arnotts), or similar plain chocolate biscuit
100g dark chocolate
120g raw almonds
about 2/3 of a 395g tin of sweetened condensed milk
1 cup coconut

Process Choc Ripple biscuits in a food processor until fine.  Empty into a seperate bowl.

Process dark chocolate into small pieces.  Add to ground Choc Ripple biscuits in bowl.

Process almonds into small pieces.  Add to other ingredients in bowl and mix well.

Add sweetened condensed milk gradually, stirring well until mixture is just combined and sticky.  Don't use more than necessary to create the right texture, as this ingredient is what will make the balls too sweet.

Spread coconut out on a plate.  Form mixture into small balls and roll in coconut.

Place in refrigerator for a few hours to become firm (overnight is okay).

Another yummy addition would be pieces of glace cherries....
