Make Chocolate Balls  -  Chocolate Ball Recipe

What you need:

What to do:

  1. Melt chocolate chips; remove from heat.
  2. Stir in sweetened condensed milk.
  3. Chill 3 hours or until firm.
  4. Shape into 1 - inch (2.5cm) balls; place on wax paper-lined trays. Chill until firm. Roll in nuts, cocoa, or dip into melted chocolate chips of a different color.
  5. Chill and enjoy.

Other recipes:

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BALLS
2 c. peanut butter
1 lb. 10X sugar
1 stick butter, melted
5 c. Rice Krispies

Mix all ingredients until well blended. Roll into small balls. Melt 1/2 pound chunk chocolate, 1 large Hershey bar and 1/3 block paraffin over hot water. Dip balls in chocolate. Place on waxed paper to cool.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup sugar (I use cane sugar)
1/4 cup milk (I use condensed or whole milk)
dash salt
1 tsp. pure vanilla
1 heaping tablespoon peanut butter (optional: add more to taste and increase the oatmeal)
1 1/2 cups UNCOOKED oatmeal

Microwave the butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 15-30 seconds, until the butter is melted. Add 1/4 cup cocoa and blend until the cocoa is dissolved into the butter.

Add the sugar, milk and salt. Blend well.

Microwave on high for 1 minute 10 seconds to bring to a full boil. (Should you need to microwave the batter some more, do so in 10 second increments.) You want a full boil, but because it will continue to cook for awhile once it's removed from the microwave, heating it too long can cause the mixture to scorch.)

Add the vanilla, peanut butter and oatmeal. Stir well. Drop by tablespoon-full on waxed paper and allow to cool.

Makes 12 cookies.
