When the chocolate is melted add the smashed maltesers and mix together

Once the mixture is a little more pliable, roll into balls and dip into chocolate strands or chocolate flakes.

Put in the fridge for around an hour to set further more

Coconut Truffles (Using same measurements as above)

Combine the two mixtures and stir well

Roll into balls and dip in some desicated coconut and put in the fridge to set

The best thing about this recipe is that there are lots of variations you can try out. I think next time I am going to try out a rocky road version and a white chocolate, cherry and biscuit one :D
