Instructions
Step 1
Start by breaking **the dark chocolate** into small pieces and placing it in a heatproof bowl. Melt the chocolate using a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely smooth.
Once melted, allow the chocolate to cool slightly, then add the **crushed biscuits**, **powdered sugar**, and **cocoa powder** to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 2
Next, pour in the **heavy cream** and mix well until you achieve a **smooth and cohesive texture**. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more cream until you get the right consistency.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about **30 minutes**, allowing the mixture to firm up.
Step 3
Once chilled, scoop out small portions of the mixture using your hands, rolling them into **1-inch balls**. If your hands get sticky, you can slightly dampen them with water.
Place the formed balls on a plate lined with parchment paper.
Step 4
If desired, roll the chocolate balls in **chopped nuts**, **desiccated coconut**, or **sprinkles** for an extra touch. This adds flavor and makes them look great!
After coating, return the chocolate balls to the refrigerator and chill for another **15 minutes** to set.
Step 5
Once they are firm, your **easy chocolate balls** are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them on a decorative plate or place them in a gift box for friends and family. Enjoy your delightful treat!
Servings
Once your chocolate balls are beautifully formed and ready to go, it’s time to think about serving!✨ These bites are perfect as an after-dinner treat when you want something sweet but not too heavy. You can pair them with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a delightful contrast.
If you’re hosting a gathering, consider arranging them on a decorative plate or in a glass jar for a charming display. 🥳 These treats also make fantastic party favors! Just wrap them in small bags tied with a ribbon for a personal touch.
For an even more fun experience, try creating a chocolate ball bar! Set out different toppings like crushed nuts, sprinkles, or coconut, and let your guests customize their treats. 🍫🍬The possibilities are endless!
Equipment
A sturdy mixing bowl is essential for combining your ingredients thoroughly. Choose one that’s large enough to give you room to mix without spilling.



For melting chocolate, you can use a double boiler or a microwave-safe bowl. If using a microwave, heat in short bursts to avoid burning.



A large spoon or cookie scoop will help you portion the chocolate mixture perfectly. To avoid sticky hands, use a scoop!
Line your baking sheet with wax paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze. It's also great for letting the chocolate balls set!

Faq

If your chocolate seems chunky after melting, it's likely been overheated. Try stirring it gently as it cools slightly to regain a smooth consistency.
- How long do these chocolate balls last?
When stored in an airtight container in a cool place, these chocolate balls can last up to two weeks. However, they’re so good they might not make it that long!
- How can I make my chocolate balls more flavorful?
Adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt can enhance the flavor. You can also mix in crushed peppermint candies or citrus zest for a fresh twist!
- Can I use any type of chocolate?
Yes! Feel free to experiment with different chocolates, such as milk, dark, or even white chocolate. Each type will give a unique flavor to your chocolate balls!
- What is the best way to store chocolate balls?
The best way to store chocolate balls is in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. This keeps them fresh and prevents them from getting overly soft.

Absolutely! You can freeze them for up to three months. Just thaw them in the fridge before serving to keep their texture just right.
