Hot Cross Truffles

Ingredients

  • 250g butternut snap biscuits, broken into pieces
  • 100g each of glace peaches and glace apricots, chopped
  • 100g currants
  • 250g Australian cream cheese, softened
  • 2 teaspoons mixed spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated dark chocolate
  • 350g dark chocolate, melted, extra
  • 50g white chocolate, melted, for piping


Method

  1. Place biscuits in a food processor and process into crumbs, remove to a bowl.
